Product Description
120 ASTA paprika powder for seasonings and sauces
Our 120 ASTA sweet paprika powder sits in the middle of the color range (60–220 ASTA). It is milled to 60–80 mesh, held to 10% maximum moisture, and sold against stated mycotoxin limits: aflatoxin B1 below 5 ppb, total aflatoxin below 10 ppb and ochratoxin A below 20 ppb.
It is a practical grade for food factories that need a clear orange-red in a seasoning or sauce and want the safety limits written into the specification. For a lighter, flavor-led grade see 80 ASTA; for meat products and snacks, see 160 ASTA.
