Full Visibility from Raw Material to Finished Ingredient

1. Traceability at Every Production Stage – From Soil to Shipment

We control what others outsource. Our vertical integration begins with audited raw material suppliers (non-GMO corn, tapioca, chicory root) and continues through fermentation, enzymatic conversion, refining, drying, and packaging. Every lot is tagged with a unique traceability code that lets you view:

• Harvest origin and date

• Enzyme and reagent batch numbers

• Processing parameters (pH, temperature, residence time)

• Quality release certificates

How our ingredients support this: Soluble dietary fibers and oligosaccharides are manufactured from single-origin inputs, eliminating cross-contamination risks often seen with multi-supplier sourcing.

2. Clean Label Compatible – No Hidden Carriers or Fillers

Many functional ingredients contain anti-caking agents, maltodextrin carriers, or synthetic antioxidants. Our standard production avoids these unless you explicitly request them. For clean label projects, we offer:

• Enzyme-only processed resistant dextrin (no chemical modification)

• Spray-dried inulin with no added maltodextrin

• Preservative-free polydextrose (meeting USP/EP standards)

We provide full ingredient declarations in 11 languages, ready for your packaging team.

3. Third-Party Audits & Certifications – Proof, Not Promises

Our transparency is backed by annual on-site inspections. Current certifications include:

• ISO 22000:2018 (food safety management)

• FSSC 22000 (full supply chain scheme)

• Kosher (OU) & Halal (IFANCA) – batch-wise supervision

• Non-GMO Project Verified for select oligosaccharides and fibers

• Organic (ECOCERT) – traceable from farm to flake

All certificates are published on our customer portal with real-time validity status.

4. Full Disclosure Data Sheets – Beyond the COA

For each ingredient family, we publish:

• Complete impurity profile (heavy metals, mycotoxins, residual solvents, process contaminants)

• Fermentation media composition (no animal-derived peptones unless specified)

• Enzyme origin (fungal, bacterial, or plant – with GRAS status)

• Carbon footprint summary (per kg of active ingredient)

You will never see “proprietary blend” or “trade secret processing aids” on our documents.

5. How Our Additives Enable Your Transparency Commitment

When you formulate with Saigao ingredients, you pass transparency benefits directly to your customers:

• Resistant dextrin – derived from tapioca starch using only water and enzymes; fully soluble and non-caloric.

• FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) – produced via fermentation of sucrose with Aspergillus oryzae; no synthetic intermediates.

• XOS (xylo-oligosaccharides) – from non-GMO corn cob; residual xylan content <0.1%.

• Maltitol – hydrogenation catalyst removed by ion-exchange to <5 ppm.
