What We Couldn't Verify
- FSSC 22000 confirmed via secondary source (Food Safety magazine 2023); FSSC public-register direct lookup deferred to next quarterly recheck
- BRCGS status not surfaced in 2026-04-27 web search
- Specific raw-material primary_sourcing_country left at 'multiple' pending vendor disclosure
- On-site inspection not conducted; EU regulatory framework differs from US 21 CFR Part 111
- Branded ingredients Hytolive and Vintera OPC carry implicit antioxidant claims — IR profile prose follows v5.0 §10 factual-descriptive pattern (no consumption recommendations)
