Buyer Decision Guide
As an animal-derived nutritional ingredient, specification begins with species declaration, slaughter documentation and microbiological limits. Confirm the declared heme iron level and the assay method before approval.
- Confirm species and slaughter documentation
- Verify the heme iron assay method
- Check iron speciation reporting
- Confirm microbiological and heavy-metal limits
How This Grade Differs
Heme iron is an animal-derived iron form and is not equivalent in absorption behaviour or labelling to non-heme iron salts such as ferrous fumarate. Compare on iron form, declared level and regulatory route, not on percentage alone.
Compare these related grades before approval:
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which particle size or presentation applies?
98% through 80 mesh
Is the declared percentage a specification limit or a measured result?
The specification figure is Heme iron 2%; the measured result for your lot is reported separately on its COA.
Can the mesh be adjusted for our process?
Standard supply is 98% through 80 mesh; a different cut is agreed in writing before production.
Which safety parameters are tested every lot?
Moisture <=5.0%, ash <=5.0%, heavy metals and microbiology against the approved specification.
Which botanical identity is declared for Porcine Blood Extract Powder 2% Heme Iron?
It is declared as the identity on the specification.
Can you produce to our own specification or packing?
Alternative assay targets, particle size, packing and private-label requirements are reviewed case by case, subject to production feasibility and a revised written specification.
What packing options are available?
Standard packing is a sealed food-grade inner liner inside an export carton or fibre drum. Pack size, labelling and private-label artwork are agreed in the written specification.
Can I review the COA before I pay?
Yes. Request the current or representative COA and check identity, method, limits and results before approving the purchase order.
