Is this Astragalus root oil compliant for food and flavoring use?
Yes — Astragalus root oil is suitable for flavoring use under the Chinese food-flavoring framework, and Huang Qi itself is a recognized health-food raw material.
Food & Flavor Compliance
| Framework | Status |
|---|---|
| GB/T 30616-2020 | Meets general requirements for food flavoring (safe traceability, labeling, no non-food materials) |
| Ministry of Health / NHSA lists | Huang Qi (Radix Astragali) is listed as a raw material permitted for health foods and as an item in the TCM health-food catalog |
| EU / USA positioning | Traded as a botanical extract/essential oil; used in supplements and flavor systems per local regulations — not positioned as a drug |
| Halal / Kosher | 100% plant-based; certification available (see related FAQ) |
- Recommended flavor use levels are 1–10 ppm in finished beverages/sweets at the flavor-concentrate stage; the final-use authorization still depends on your target market's food additive rules
- We do not make drug/medical claims; a health-food dossier can be provided for regulatory review in your market
