Sourcing notes
Food products are governed by the importing country’s rules on additives, labelling, pesticide residues and, for animal-derived ingredients, sanitary registration. Confirm the exact product specification and the destination standard before sampling, because reformulating after a sample is approved is costly for both sides.
Quality, compliance and documentation
Factories should hold a food production licence and, where required, an export food production filing. Ask for the residue test report from a laboratory recognised by the destination authority, the shelf-life study and the packaging migration test. Lot traceability from farm or collection point to finished carton should be documented.
How to inquire
Send the product name, specification, target volume per shipment and destination country. We will confirm which factories can meet the certification and testing requirements before sending samples.
