Minerals & Salts
Mineral inputs for fortification and processing: salt, including fortified grades supplied to a buyer's stated market standard, calcium carbonate, and iron, zinc and potassium salts. Bought by food processors running a fortification program, supplement and premix manufacturers, dairy and beverage plants, and pharmaceutical formulators who need a mineral source that doses evenly through a blend.

About Minerals & Salts
Mineral salts are produced, dried, milled and screened to a consistent particle size, because how evenly a mineral disperses through a blend matters as much as the mineral itself. Some salts pick up moisture readily and others affect color or taste in the finished product, so each is handled and stored separately and released against its own batch record.
Supplied as powders, granules or crystalline grades in lined bags, drums or cartons, sealed against moisture. Bulk packing suits plants dosing straight into a blender, while smaller packs suit premix and laboratory work. Tell us the carrier system and the dosing equipment you use, and the grade and packing can be matched before the order is confirmed.

Frequently asked
Where do we get the specification and Certificate of Analysis?
Both are confirmed per order, against the specific salt form and grade allocated to you. Rather than publish a fixed sheet, the technical documents are issued with the quotation and the Certificate of Analysis for the batch is sent with the shipment.
Which mineral form should we use?
The same mineral is available in different salt forms, and they differ in solubility, taste and how they sit with the rest of the blend. Share the finished format and the level you are fortifying to, and our team will point to the form that fits and send it for trial.
Will the salts affect color or flavor?
Some can. Iron in particular tends to shift color and taste in a light-colored base, and the effect depends on your recipe and pack. It is worth trialing before you commit, and sample quantities are released for exactly that.
Can you supply small quantities for premix development?
Yes. Smaller packs for premix and laboratory work are available alongside bulk industrial packing, and the same grade is supplied for both, so the material you develop with is the material you scale up on.
