- What is the difference between 220 Bloom and 250 Bloom gelatin?
- 220 Bloom delivers a softer, more elastic gel suited to industrial blends, confectionery base stock, meat, and bakery work; stocked in 6 mesh. 250 Bloom delivers a firmer, more transparent gel preferred for premium gummies, marshmallow, mousse, panna cotta, and yogurt body; stocked in 20 mesh and 40 mesh.
- What mesh sizes are available?
- Three sizes are stocked: 6 mesh (coarse, with 220 Bloom), 20 mesh (standard, with 250 Bloom), and 40 mesh (fine, with 250 Bloom). Other sizes from 6 to 40 are available on contract specification.
- What is the shelf life and packaging?
- 36 months, sealed, dry, cool, away from sunlight. Standard packaging is 25 kg LDPE bags, palletized. Bulk bag and pharmaceutical inner-bag options on request.
- What documentation is included with each lot?
- Every shipment ships with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis covering bloom, viscosity, pH, ash, moisture, transparency, microbiology, and heavy-metals - alongside a BSE-free declaration, country-of-origin certificate, veterinary/health certificate, and Halal certificate on request.
- Is the gelatin Halal, Kosher, and BSE-free?
- Yes to all three. BSE-free declaration on every CoA; Halal certification (KBHC, Cert. No. 13862) and Kosher certification available on request as part of the lot documentation package. More on our Halal bovine gelatin page.
- Do you offer pharmacopoeial-grade gelatin (USP / EP / NF)?
- No. We do not currently hold United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP / Ph. Eur.) or National Formulary (NF) certification for our gelatin, and we cannot supply against those monographs. We supply food-grade bovine gelatin to GB 6783-2013 and US 2127:2019, and grades to tightened microbiological and heavy-metal specifications are available on contract for nutraceutical softgel and supplement capsule applications. Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis and a BSE/TSE-free and Non-GMO declaration.
