Xanthan Gum Food Grade Powder, CAS 11138-66-2, 25 kg Bags
Buyer-facing sourcing candidate for xanthan gum powder offered as a food-grade thickener and stabilizer. Key checks for overseas buyers should focus on CAS 11138-66-2 confirmation, food-grade specification sheet, viscosity method, particle size, moisture, ash, microbiological limits, heavy metals, allergen/GMO statements, Vietnam import document readiness, and 25 kg bag export packing. The source page lists an inconsistent molecular formula, so identity and COA verification should be requested before RFQ progression.

How we compare
Sourcing options
Request 200 g to 1 kg evaluation sample with matching COA before bulk RFQ
Start with one-pallet or 1 MT trial order if documents and specs pass buyer review
Use third-party pre-shipment inspection for bag count, labeling, packing condition, and sample retention
Ask for both standard food-grade and higher-viscosity options if formulation performance is critical
Compare quotes on FOB, CIF Ho Chi Minh City, and CIF Hai Phong terms
Request manufacturer traceability if buying through a trading company
Human review
Compliance notes
Request COA, SDS, TDS/specification sheet, allergen statement, GMO statement, food-grade declaration, and origin documents before order confirmation
Supplier page references certifications including BRC, ISO, FDA, HACCP, KOSHER, HALAL, and GMP; request current certificates with holder name, scope, issuing body, and validity dates
Do not rely on marketplace claims alone for food compliance; importer should verify Vietnam food additive requirements and documentation with local broker or authority
Source page lists CAS 11138-66-2 but also lists formula C8H14Cl2N2O2, which appears inconsistent for xanthan gum; request corrected SDS/COA and identity confirmation
Confirm whether product is produced by fermentation and whether any residual solvents, carriers, preservatives, or processing aids are declared
Check if any country-specific food additive code, E number, or standard is required for the buyer’s final use
Xanthan gum is generally not treated as dangerous goods for standard export, but DG status should be confirmed on the current SDS and shipping documents
No regulatory approval or import clearance is guaranteed by this listing; buyer must complete local compliance review
