Is food grade the same everywhere?

No. FCC, JECFA, EU and national specifications overlap but are not identical, and additive approvals differ by country. Tell us the reference your market applies so the COA reports against it.

Does food grade packaging matter?

Yes. Food ingredients should be packed in food-contact materials such as lined bags or HDPE drums. Reused or industrial packaging can compromise an otherwise compliant product.

Can food grade chemicals be used in pharmaceuticals?

Not automatically. Medicines require a pharmacopoeial grade and suitable manufacturing controls. Some producers make material that meets both FCC and pharmacopoeial monographs, which the COA will state.
