What vitamin C content can I expect from rosehip powder batches sourced through TANDOR?

Standard rosehip powder from suppliers in our network maintains minimum 0.5% ascorbic acid content with typical ranges of 0.6-0.8%. Each batch COA provides exact vitamin C analysis using HPLC methodology. We can look for suppliers of higher-potency materials (up to 1.2% ascorbic acid) with advance notice and adjusted pricing.

How do you ensure batch-to-batch consistency for private label manufacturing?

Suppliers provide their certificates and lab reports; TANDOR can request them and pass them on, and you check them. Suppliers can offer pre-shipment samples, analytical results, and retained samples to support consistency. Suppliers' multi-origin blending capabilities allow batches to be adjusted to meet your exact specifications when natural variation occurs.

What EU-Organic documentation comes with each rosehip shipment?

Every organic rosehip lot comes with the supplier's EU organic certificate per Regulation 2018/848 (with the control-body code on the invoice and delivery documents), a detailed Certificate of Analysis, origin certification from certified operators, and processing facility organic certifications. Full chain of custody documentation enables your EU-Organic labeling compliance.

Can you source rosehip materials for specific health claim substantiation?

Yes, we can introduce suppliers of rosehip materials with analytical profiles supporting various EU health claims. We collect detailed supplier documentation on vitamin C content, antioxidant activity, and other compounds. However, health claim approval and substantiation remains your responsibility as the final product manufacturer.
