I. Qualification Verification - Ensure Compliance and Legality
- Check the business scope of the business license to confirm it includes "food additive production" or the specific category required.
- Review the detailed list of licensed products to verify if the needed product is covered.
- Examine third-party inspection reports with CMA/CNAS certification , ensuring the report date is within the past six months and includes safety indicators such as "heavy metals" and "microorganisms".
- For exported additives, obtain import country certifications (e.g., FDA approval, EU certificates).
II. Product Quality and Safety Control
- Recommend selecting fixed and reliable suppliers to avoid multi-channel procurement. Record batch numbers and production dates for each product use to facilitate traceability in case of issues.
- Upon receipt, inspect packaging integrity and label clarity during acceptance.
III. Risk Prevention and Long-Term Cooperation Strategy
- For long-term cooperation, sign confidentiality agreements and apply for patent protection for core products and processes.
- Stay vigilant against low-price traps . Conduct comprehensive evaluations of suppliers, prioritizing partners with reliable quality and transparent pricing to reduce potential quality risks in the future.
