Compliance notes
Confirm CAS, E965 identity, grade, and intended end use against the buyer's destination-market food additive requirements before purchase.
Request COA, specification sheet, SDS, allergen statement, GMO statement, halal/kosher certificates if needed, certificate of origin, health certificate if applicable, commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading draft.
Do not rely on marketplace claims such as FDA, GRAS, diabetic-friendly, organic, or clean-label without checking certificate scope, registration status, and destination-market applicability.
Confirm whether the product is non-DG for sea and air shipment and request the supplier's transport classification statement or SDS section 14.
Check additive labeling requirements, maximum permitted use levels, and laxative warning language requirements in the destination market with a qualified regulatory resource.
If wheat-derived raw material is used, confirm gluten/allergen status with supporting test data or declaration.
Verify whether organic claims apply to the exact product grade and lot, not only to the factory or product family.
