Citric Acid Food/Feed Grade China Manufacturer - CAS and Grade Verification Required
Buyer-facing sourcing candidate for citric acid from a China supplier listing. The page should be treated as a specification-check RFQ item because the source title references monohydrate while the extracted attributes repeatedly state anhydrous citric acid, CAS 77-92-9, food grade, white powder, 96.8% content, and 25 kg bag packing. Overseas buyers should confirm hydrate form, assay basis, impurity profile, documentation, packing, HS code, and food/feed compliance documents before quotation or sample approval.
Quick buying facts
Identify the grade, package, and import market before comparing suppliers.
Use this page to check the product identity, common specification points, document scope, package notes, and destination-market questions before sending a China sourcing request.
CAS No. listed: 77-92-9; consistent with anhydrous citric acid, not monohydrateFood/feed acidity regulator and acidifier; citric acid grade to be confirmed as anhydrous or monohydrateCandidate - verify hydrate form, assay, documents, and HS code before RFQ
Check whether this product fits the buyer's actual application.
Clear application, grade, package, and document notes help separate real sourcing demand from a vague price check.
Use context
Common applications
Food acidity regulation subject to buyer specification and destination-market approval
Feed acidifier sourcing subject to feed-grade documentation and local registration checks
Beverage, confectionery, seasoning, and processed food formulation supply chains
Distributor stock item where batch COA and packing consistency are important
Tender or RFQ comparison between anhydrous and monohydrate citric acid offers
How we compare
Sourcing options
Quote as citric acid anhydrous, food grade, CAS 77-92-9, only if supplier confirms the listing attributes
Quote separately as citric acid monohydrate if buyer requires monohydrate form and matching CAS/specification
Request 25 kg bag pricing for container-load purchasing
Request 1000 kg jumbo bag pricing for large-volume industrial buyers
Ask for sample approval before commercial order where impurity limits or taste profile are critical
Compare supplier offer against verified COA, certificate scope, and export document readiness rather than headline price only
Human review
Compliance notes
Request recent COA showing assay, moisture, ash, sulfate, oxalate, heavy metals, arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, chloride, readily carbonizable substances, and microbiological results where applicable
Request SDS, TDS/specification sheet, allergen statement, GMO statement if required, origin statement, and batch traceability documents
Certifications claimed in listing include BRC, ISO, FDA, SGS, and FAMIQ; buyer should request certificate copies and verify scope, validity, site name, and product coverage
Confirm target market standards required by buyer, such as FCC, USP, BP, EP, E330, GB, feed-grade standard, or customer-specific food/feed specifications
DG/export awareness: citric acid is typically not classed as dangerous goods, but export documents, transport classification, and destination-specific import rules should be verified with the supplier and freight forwarder
Do not rely on the listing HS code without checking; cited HS code 293629 appears inconsistent for citric acid and should be verified before customs declaration

Questions to confirm
Is the offered material citric acid anhydrous or citric acid monohydrate? Please confirm CAS number, hydrate form, and assay basis on COA.
Can you provide a current specification sheet and COA from a recent export batch?
Which standard does the food grade comply with: FCC, USP, BP, EP, E330, GB, or another specification?
What are the guaranteed limits for moisture, heavy metals, lead, arsenic, sulfate, oxalate, ash, and microbiology?
Is 96.8% the actual assay, minimum assay, or a copied attribute? Please explain against the quoted grade standard.
What certificates are available under the manufacturing site name, and what is their validity period and product scope?
