What buyers ask us about food grade.
Do you provide Halal or Green Food certification for food grade?
The producing plant has held HFCI (Halal Food Council International) and China Green Food certification. Those are plant certificates, not Yizhou Chem certificates. Halal renewal is in progress. We confirm current validity in writing before any food-grade shipment to a Muslim-majority market. Copies of plant certificates are available on request.
Is Halal certification about to become mandatory in Indonesia?
Indonesia’s mandatory halal certification requirement for food, beverage and cosmetic products takes effect in October 2026 under Permendag regulations. If you import into Indonesia, ask us for the current plant Halal status well ahead of that date. This is a timing note from publicly announced rules, not legal advice.
Can this grade be used for both baking and beverage applications?
Yes. The grade meets GB 1886.2 and is aligned with E500(ii). For beverage tablets, tell us your granulation (mesh) requirement and we match current production.
How are heavy metals controlled?
Each production batch is tested for lead and arsenic at the producing plant. The batch COA travels with the shipment and matches the bag markings.
What documents do you prepare for food import clearance?
Commercial invoice, packing list, B/L, certificate of origin (Form E / RCEP where applicable), health certificate and batch COA. Indonesian BPOM registration sits with your importer of record — we supply the producing plant’s authorization letter when that file needs it.
How do you quote food grade sodium bicarbonate FOB?
FOB Tianjin against packing, quantity and loading month. No list price on this site. MOQ 10 MT.
