RUNNER PEANUTS ONLY
American Peanut Growers Group, LLC shells only Runner type peanuts. We do not
handle Virginia, Spanish, or Valencia varieties, or inshell peanuts.
Our specifications for shelled peanuts are based on rules set by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the National Peanut Standards
Board and the American Peanut Shellers Association (APSA). APSA
specifications can be found on their website under “Trading
Rules” at www.peanut-sheller.org. Mandatory and optional testing is performed by USDA and J. Leek
Associates www.jlaglobal.com. Federal State Inspection Service (FSIS),
which is regulated by USDA, grades each lot of shelled peanuts at
our shelling plant. A Grade Certificate and Aflatoxin Certificate
is provided with each load showing its compliance to the Grade Standards
set by the governing associations. A variety of other optional tests
can be performed by each customer’s request.
