1Which food additives and bulk ingredients does Bio Green Foods supply?
Which food additives and bulk ingredients does Bio Green Foods supply?
The range includes preservatives, acidulants, sweeteners, hydrocolloids, leavening agents and phosphates. Browse individual products for their intended applications, then confirm the exact grade and availability with our team.
2Can you match an additive to our E-number specification?
Can you match an additive to our E-number specification?
Yes. Give us the E number, the purity reference you follow (EU 231/2012, FCC or JECFA), the form, mesh or viscosity, and the finished food. We compare manufacturing sources with that brief and state the agreed specification in the offer.
3How do we confirm permitted use and certificates for an ingredient?
How do we confirm permitted use and certificates for an ingredient?
Confirm permitted use for the destination market and ask for documents covering the exact ingredient, manufacturing site and grade. Certificates are source-dependent; a listing does not establish that every available grade holds every certificate.
Ordering
1What minimum order applies to a food additive grade?
What minimum order applies to a food additive grade?
It varies with the ingredient, its form and the source: powders in 25 kg sacks and liquids in IBCs carry different minimums. Share your trial and yearly volumes, and the offer confirms the order size for that grade.
2What should a food ingredient quote request include?
What should a food ingredient quote request include?
Name the ingredient or E number, the grade or purity reference, the food it goes into, yearly volume, pack and delivery point. Flag allergen, GMO, halal or kosher needs early so a suitable source is chosen before pricing.
3What payment terms apply to ingredient orders?
What payment terms apply to ingredient orders?
Currency, method and timing of payment are set in each offer and fixed in the contract. Verify any request to change our bank details by phoning a contact you already know.
Shipping
1Can you deliver food ingredients to our country?
Can you deliver food ingredients to our country?
Send the destination country and port or postcode. Before accepting an order, Bio Green Foods checks that the ingredient is permitted in that market, which import documents are expected and which shipping terms suit the chosen source.
2How long does a food ingredient delivery take?
How long does a food ingredient delivery take?
It depends on stock or production slots at the source, document approval by your QA team and the route. Each quotation states the current schedule; plan production on that confirmed date, not a typical figure.
3How do you protect moisture-sensitive powders in storage and transit?
How do you protect moisture-sensitive powders in storage and transit?
Powders usually ship in 25 kg bags or jumbo bags; once delivered, keep them sealed, dry and away from heat. The pack type and any storage conditions for the selected grade are stated in the offer.
Technical
1Can we get a specification, COA and SDS before approving an ingredient?
Can we get a specification, COA and SDS before approving an ingredient?
Yes. The nominated source provides a current specification and a representative or batch COA, plus safety data where relevant. Allergen, GMO, halal or kosher papers follow where they exist for that plant.
2Can we trial a sample in our recipe before ordering?
Can we trial a sample in our recipe before ordering?
Usually, if the source can release one. Tell us the grade, the amount you need to trial and your pilot-plant address; availability, cost and dispatch are confirmed before the sample leaves for your dosage or shelf-life tests.
