Food grade sodium bicarbonate for Egypt
Food grade sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃, E500(ii)) to GB 1886.2-2015 for Egyptian food manufacturers and ingredient importers. Quoted FOB Tianjin or CIF Alexandria; 25–27 MT per 20′ FCL.
Yizhou Chem is a trading company in Hohhot, not the manufacturer. The legal manufacturer of the sodium bicarbonate we export is Inner Mongolia Berun Yingen Chemical Co., Ltd., whose plant is in Alxa League, Inner Mongolia, China. We name the plant in the quote, and the batch COA travels with every lot.
The checklist below answers the questions an Egyptian food importer asked us before a first order. Send your quantity, packing and whether you already have the ACID number. We reply with a written quote within 24 hours (GMT+8, Mon–Sat), valid for 7 calendar days, and send a 500 g sample free of charge with the matching COA.
Importers often ask who made the product and where. We disclose the producing plant as the legal manufacturer and site, and show its Halal and ISO 22000 certificates as watermarked, view-only copies; the originals are shown on request with an RFQ. The certificates are the plant’s, not Yizhou Chem’s.
Plant TDS limits to GB 1886.2-2015: total alkalinity (NaHCO₃) 99.0–100.5%, loss on drying ≤ 0.20%, pH ≤ 8.5, heavy metals (as Pb) ≤ 5 ppm, arsenic ≤ 1 ppm, chloride ≤ 0.40%, whiteness ≥ 85. The lot COA is the contractual document.
In 2025 Egypt imported about 39,000 t of sodium bicarbonate (HS 2836.30); main suppliers by tonnage: Türkiye 61% · China 10% · Germany 8%. UN Comtrade estimated this tonnage from the declared customs values. Source: UN Comtrade, imports reported by Egypt, retrieved 2 November 2026.
