Xanthan Gum E415 Food Grade, Transparent Grade Candidate for Clear Beverages and Juice Stabilization
Food-grade xanthan gum E415 candidate offered for overseas buyers requiring a clear-beverage or fruit-juice stabilizer. Key verification points include CAS 11138-66-2, food-grade standard alignment such as FCC/USP/GB 1886.41, transparency or clarity test data, viscosity specification, microbiological limits, heavy metals, loss on drying, and batch COA consistency. The source page lists several useful export documents but also contains product-description inconsistencies that should be clarified before RFQ confirmation.

Compliance notes
CAS No. 11138-66-2 and E415 identity should be checked against the COA, SDS, product specification, and label before purchase
Request food-grade documentation suitable for the destination market, including COA, SDS, allergen statement, GMO status if required, Halal/Kosher certificates if claimed, and microbiological test results
Source page lists possible shipping documents: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, COA, FORM E Certificate of Origin, Health Certificate, Bill of Lading, and REACH report; confirm availability and issuing authority before order
Page lists certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, HACCP, Halal, and Kosher; request current certificates and scope pages
DG/export awareness: product is described as non-hazardous for transport, but buyer should confirm latest SDS transport section, HS code, and destination import requirements
HS code listed: 3913909000; buyer should verify classification with customs broker for the specific market and use
Do not rely on the listing alone for regulatory acceptance in food or beverage applications; final suitability depends on destination-market standards and buyer formulation requirements
