Quality & compliance
Every producing site is qualified before it enters a program: HACCP is a baseline requirement, and, where the program requires a recognized food-safety certification (FSSC 22000, BRC or ISO 22000), the program is structured around a site holding the required current certificate, with the certificate, its scope and its expiry confirmed in writing for the selected product before the first order. Salt programs are additionally qualified on the food-grade specification and, where the product is iodized, on the iodine level per lot. Batch-specific analysis, applicable certificates and export documentation are provided to qualified buyers. Compliance and quality · US import compliance and FSVP.
Documents available on request: Technical Data Sheet, Certificate of Analysis, safety data sheet, granulometry report, applicable certification documentation, and shipping/commercial documents.

Buyer FAQ
Common questions on salt supply programs
Can ALPHATRADE supply bulk and private-label salt, and which origins are available?
ALPHATRADE supplies salt from Egypt and Pakistan across retail, foodservice and industrial formats, and contracts with you as seller. The grade, granulometry and pack format are selected from the range on this page and written into the program specification, with analysis issued against that specification for each lot.
What pack formats are available?
The documented formats run from the table-salt bottle, sachet and refillable grinder for retail, through the 1 kg (2.2 lb) bucket and carton, to the 25 kg (55.1 lb) sack and the jumbo bag for industrial use. Case, pallet and container loading are confirmed per format before booking.
How are granulometry and contaminant limits specified?
Granulometry and the physical properties for the selected grade are written into the program specification before the first order, together with the contaminant limits applicable to the destination market. Each lot is analyzed against that specification. Shelf life differs by grade and is stated per grade above.
What has to be settled before custom salt labels go to print?
Four things, in this order: the product and the pack format; print-ready artwork, or a brief if design support is needed; written confirmation of rights to any licensed name, logo or mark that appears on the pack; and the destination labeling review, where the ingredient and allergen declarations are checked against the requirements of the market the goods enter.
Who is responsible for FDA requirements when importing salt into the United States?
FSVP obligations sit with the designated FSVP importer, where applicable, and producing facilities keep their own applicable FDA obligations. The Foreign Supplier Verification Program is the importer's duty under FSMA, not the supplier's, and the FSVP importer is generally the US owner or consignee at entry, which may be a different company from the customs importer of record. Prior Notice must reach the FDA before arrival, filed by the designated filer. ALPHATRADE supplies the supplier-side evidence the importer's file requires and provides the product, producing-site and shipment data the filer needs.
Questions that apply to every program, on certification, the documents that travel with each lot and United States entry, are answered on Compliance & Quality and US food import compliance.
