Supplier qualification · China, August 2026
Qualification is a system review, not a single final-product test
Maxeve qualifies manufacturing partners on the combination of manufacturing controls, food-safety systems, analytical capability and lot-specific testing — reviewed in person at the plant.
What the on-site visit covers
Process and equipment
Extraction, purification, filtration and solid-liquid separation, concentration, controlled crystallization, drying and powder handling — walked through against the manufacturer's process documentation.
Food-safety system
Certification scope confirmed against the specific products supplied. For steviol glycosides the FSSC 22000 scope covers extraction, crystallization and drying, including Reb A and Reb M.
Analytical capability
In-house HPLC capability, dedicated standard-solution and instrument rooms, and the lot-release testing actually performed before shipment.
Documentation and traceability
Specification control, COA generation, purified-water preparation, packaging and storage practices, and how records are retained per lot.
Lot-level control
- Individual glycoside assay and total steviol glycosides
- Lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury
- Residual ethanol and methanol
- Microbiological limits: E. coli, Salmonella, total plate count, yeast and mould
- Third-party analytical verification available for key grades
Recent commercial-batch evidence
- Reb A 97 lot
- 97.35% Reb A
- Reb M 95 lot
- 96.15% Reb M
- Yeast protein lot 20260502027
- 83.01% protein, dry basis
Batch examples are illustrative. Commercial acceptance is based on the lot-specific specification and COA supplied with the shipment.
Certification status, scope and validity are re-confirmed at the time of customer qualification, particularly for organic and Non-GMO claims.
