Is this hawthorn concrete food-grade, and is there a FEMA GRAS number?
Hawthorn is a medicine-food dual-use species in China, so the fruit concentrate is a recognized food raw material (per NHC list), not a novel-ingredient hurdle. In China, food use follows general food-safety + GB 17325-2015 (concentrate) + GB 2761-2017 (patulin) + medicine-food dual-use status.
There is no unified FEMA GRAS number for hawthorn fruit concentrate (it is a whole-fruit food extract, not a single-flavor GRAS substance) — US food use should be reviewed under 21 CFR food-additive / GRAS frameworks case by case. Top supplies documented lots and the food-use citation; the buyer confirms the exact food category and market eligibility.
Because patulin is a mandatory test for hawthorn class, Top always confirms patulin not detected so food buyers can clear it.
