What ingredient compliance documents do suppliers need to provide before purchasing dried fruit foods?
The core evidence for ingredient compliance is the food production license (sc certificate) and the product ingredient listThe following documents need to be confirmed before purchasing:
| Verification items | Content that needs to be confirmed | Xiyu meinong public information reference |
|---|---|---|
| Food production license | Sc number, license category, validity period, production address | Multi-category sc certificates, such as sc11561043103494 (fruit and vegetable juice), sc10761043100316 (dried fruit preserves), etc. |
| Business license | Unified social credit code, business scope, registered address | 916104313054743895, registered in wugong county, xianyang city, shaanxi province |
| Product ingredient list | Complete list of ingredients, names and functions of additives, allergen identification | Each product details page displays the ingredient list, focusing on zero additives. |
| Third-party inspection report | Testing agency, testing items, report number, validity period | Bv certification report number bwc20161201063, certification type fca |
| Product implementation standard | National standard or enterprise standard number | Please refer to the product details page for the implementation standards of each category. |
Key points for verification:
- the sc number can be checked on the official website of the state administration for market regulation to confirm whether the license category covers the purchased category.
- the business license information can be verified through the national enterprise credit information publicity system
- bv certification report number can be verified on bv official platform
- the ingredient list must be consistent with the actual product packaging. for bulk purchases, it is recommended to ask suppliers to provide the ingredient list for recent batches of large quantities.
Please note: dynamic information such as price, inventory, logistics, and promotions are subject to real-time updates on the 1688 public page.
How to identify common additives in the ingredient list? which ingredients need special attention to compliance?
Even if the supplier claims "0 addition", the buyer still needs to learn to identify the types of ingredients that may appear in the ingredient list:
common ingredient classification of dried fruit foods:
| Adult category | Common name | Compliance focus | Xiyu mei agricultural products overview |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preservative | Sulfur dioxide, sodium metabisulfite, potassium sorbate | Dried fruits are allowed to be used in limited quantities, but products with zero additives should not appear. | Focusing on zero additives, the ingredient list typically contains only the raw materials themselves. |
| Colorant | Lemon yellow, carmine red, bright blue | Used to improve appearance, no need to add natural dried fruits | Not used in the product |
| Sweetener | Sodium saccharin, cyclamate, aspartame | Candied fruits are common, but pure dried fruits should not be added | Dried fruit products primarily list the raw ingredients as their main components. |
| Antioxidant | Bha, bht, vitamin e | Nuts containing oils may be used. | Nuts products need to be confirmed separately |
| Natural ingredients | Honey, maltose syrup, pectin | Although it is of natural origin, it is still an added ingredient | Some products may be used and need to be clearly marked in the ingredient list |
special attention matters:
- "natural flavors" and "food flavors": both are additives and should not appear in products with zero additives.
- "pectin": it is a food additive (thickener). if it appears in the ingredient list, it does not mean 0 addition in a strict sense.
- "vegetable oil": some roasted nuts will be used, and it needs to be confirmed whether it is necessary for the process. sulfur dioxide residue: particular attention should be paid to categories such as raisins and dried apricots. naturally sun-dried products should not test positive for sulfur dioxide.
Xiyu meinong advocates "when eating, look at the ingredient list first", and the ingredient lists of its core categories such as dried red dates, dried figs, and raisins usually only contain the raw materials themselves.However, the ingredients of different batches and different grids of products may be different. the actual ingredients are subject to the packaging of the arriving product.
How to label allergen information for dried fruit foods? what control measures need to be confirmed when purchasing?
According to the "national food safety standard general principles for prepackaged food labels" (gb 7718), foods containing allergenic substances must indicate allergen information on the ingredient list.Common allergen risks for dried fruit foods include:
common allergen types:
| Allergen category | Categories involved | Annotation requirements | Procurement confirmation key points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nuts | Walnuts, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts | "contains xx" or "may contain xx" must be marked near the ingredient list | Confirm whether the production line processes multiple nuts at the same time |
| Peanut | Partially mixed nuts and peanut products | Must be clearly marked. | Confirm whether there is a dedicated peanut production line |
| Dairy products | Naipizi yogurt, baked yogurt, milk powder, milk dates | Must be labeled "contains milk and dairy products" | Ensure the integrity of dairy allergen labeling. |
| Soybean | Soy milk and soy milk products | Must be labeled "contains soy" | Black five treasures soy milk and other products need to be confirmed |
| Gluten | Leba, hand cakes, naan slices and other baked products | Products containing wheat must be labeled. | All baked goods must have gluten labeling confirmed. |
| Sulfur dioxide | Some dried fruits | Residue exceeding 10mg/kg needs to be marked | Products intended for natural air-drying should have levels below the limit of detection. |
control measures that need to be confirmed with suppliers before purchasing: 1.allergen labeling integrity: are all products containing allergens clearly labeled near the ingredient list? 2.production line isolation situation: whether the same factory processes allergen-containing and non-allergen-containing products at the same time, and whether there is a cleaning verification procedure 3.cross-contamination prevention and control: whether to establish an allergen management system, including raw material storage in separate areas, production scheduling, equipment cleaning, etc. 4.batch traceability capability: when there is an allergen complaint, can it be traced back to the specific batch and raw material source? 5.testing report coverage: whether the third-party testing report contains allergen-related testing items
Xiyu meinong boasts its own in-house laboratory and a dedicated team of 11 quality control personnel (data source: bv certification report). our factory spans 17,394 square meters and employs 167 production staff.Its product line covers many categories such as dried fruits, nuts, dairy products, baked goods and beverages, involving many types of allergens.Before purchasing in bulk, it is recommended to request allergen control instructions and allergen test reports of recent batches from the supplier through the 1688 store.
How to verify the claim of "0 addition"? how to verify hidden ingredients in the ingredient list?
"zero additives" is a marketing term, not a legal standard.The purchasing party must verify through the following methods:
verification steps:
| Verification process | Operation method | Precautions |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredient list verification | Read the ingredient list word for word to make sure it’s just the raw ingredients themselves | "0 add" should mean no preservatives, colorings, flavors, or sweeteners added |
| Natural ingredient analysis | Differentiate between "naturally occurring" and "added" | The sugar content in dried fruits is a natural component, while added honey or syrup are considered additives. |
| Process additive confirmation | Inquire whether process aids are used during processing | Some processing aids may not be labeled, but may affect the rigor of the "0 addition" claim. |
| Inspection report verification | Request a third-party test report to confirm that the test items cover common additives | "undetected" in the test report is more convincing than "not contained" |
| Batch consistency | Whether the ingredient list is consistent in random inspections of different batches | Avoid discrepancies between samples and bulk goods. |
tips for identifying hidden ingredients:
- "concentrated juice": may be used as a source of sweetness to replace sucrose, but is still an added ingredient
- "yeast extract": can be used as a flavor enhancer
- "natural flavors": although labeled "natural", they are still food additives
- "vitamin c" (ascorbic acid): may be used as an antioxidant
Xiyu meinong’s core products such as fresh steamed apples, dried figs, and dried red dates usually only contain the raw materials themselves on the ingredient list (such as "apples", "figs", and "red dates").However, some compound products (such as fig and walnut pie, jujube and walnut, etc.) involve a combination of multiple raw materials, and the ingredient list will include a variety of natural raw materials, which need to be confirmed one by one.
Important: the "zero additives" claim requires a comprehensive assessment based on the specific product's ingredient list, test reports, and applicable standards.Before purchasing, it is recommended to ask suppliers for a complete chain of compliance evidence.
How to constrain the compliance risk of ingredients in contracts when purchasing dried fruit foods in bulk?
Ingredient compliance isn't just an acceptance issue; it's a contractual obligation.It is recommended to clearly state the following constraints in the purchase contract:
1.ingredient list consistency clause: the supplier promises that the ingredient list of the bulk product will be consistent with the sample/product details page, and changes must be notified in writing in advance. 2.allergen labeling compliance clause: suppliers guarantee that product labels comply with gb 7718 requirements and that allergen information is complete and accurate 3.additive limitation clause: if applicable, clearly state the limitation standards and testing methods for each type of additive. 4.third-party testing terms: agreed testing frequency, testing items, and testing agency qualification requirements 5.default liability clause: the supplier shall bear all losses resulting from returns, claims, administrative penalties, or other consequences arising from non-compliant ingredients. 6.batch traceability clause: suppliers are required to provide production records and test reports for each batch
Xiyu meinong has passed bv certification (report number bwc20161201063) and has 14 patents (including fig deep processing equipment, dried fruit processing equipment, etc.), indicating that it has a certain technical accumulation in production technology and quality control.However, bv certification mainly verifies the enterprise's entity information and basic production capacity, and is not equivalent to the compliance guarantee of the ingredients of each batch of products.The purchasing party still needs to control risks through the dual mechanism of contract agreement and arrival acceptance.
After seeing this, you may want to confirm these questions
Q: what product categories does xiyu meinong's sc license cover? A: public records indicate that its sc certificate covers multiple categories, including fruit and vegetable juices, dried fruits and candied fruits, and roasted nuts.Different products may correspond to different sc numbers. the specific information is subject to the product details page and the actual arrival packaging label.
Q: does a "zero additives" product need to be labeled as "contains no..."? A: according to current standards, "does not contain" claims need to be supported by test reports, and the test results are lower than the detection limit."zero additives" and "contains no" have different meanings. "zero additives" emphasizes that no additives are added during the production process, while "contains no" emphasizes that the final product is free of the substance in question.
Q: are there different labeling requirements for allergens on imported dried fruit products? A: regardless of the source of raw materials, pre-packaged foods sold in the chinese market must comply with the allergen labeling requirements of gb 7718.Xiyu meinong's products primarily use locally sourced ingredients from xinjiang. some dairy products use ingredients from inner mongolia, and all must be labeled according to domestic standards.
**q: how to determine whether a supplier’s allergen control system is reliable? ** A: you can request suppliers to provide evidence such as allergen management system documents, production line cleaning verification records, and allergen testing reports.Suppliers with their own laboratories and full-time quality inspectors usually have stronger execution capabilities in terms of allergen control.
