FROM THE HEART OF THE HIMALAYAS · INSPIRED BY NATURE
Quality and accountability

Nature inspires us. Evidence guides us.

An overview of international frameworks and testing priorities SALAJE intends to evaluate — not a claim of current certifications.

Our standards

Nature inspires us.
Evidence guides us.

Internationally recognised food safety systems and testing methods shape our quality checklist. The frameworks below are standards to assess and document, not claims that SALAJE is currently certified.

01 / FOUNDATION

GMP & hygiene

Good Manufacturing Practices, documented hygiene procedures, supplier approval, cleaning, personnel training and controlled production records.

02 / FOOD SAFETY

HACCP

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points: risk assessment, preventive controls, monitoring, corrective actions and traceable documentation.

03 / MANAGEMENT

ISO 22000

An internationally recognised food safety management system benchmark for the manufacturer or processing facility. Certification must be independently confirmed.

04 / LABORATORIES

ISO/IEC 17025

Use competent accredited laboratories for methods within their accreditation scope, with batch-linked certificates of analysis (COAs).

05 / CONTAMINANTS

Heavy metals & impurities

Risk-based testing for lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury, plus relevant microbiological risks, mycotoxins, pesticides and other contaminants as applicable. Compare results with destination-market limits.

06 / IDENTITY

Authenticity & composition

Document the source, resin identity, processing method, ingredients and relevant analytical specifications; substantiate fulvic-acid or mineral claims using validated methods.

07 / TRACEABILITY

Every batch accounted for

Supplier documentation, lot codes, dates, storage conditions, packaging controls, recall procedures and accessible batch-specific test results.

08 / EUROPEAN MARKETS

EU food law & labels

Review Regulations (EC) 178/2002, 852/2004, 1924/2006 and 1169/2011, Directive 2002/46/EC and applicable contaminant limits under Regulation (EU) 2023/915, alongside national rules.

09 / MARKET CLASSIFICATION

Novel-food due diligence

European Commission consultation identifies mumijo/shilajit as non-novel only when used in food supplements; other food uses are novel. Confirm the final formula and national notification requirements before selling.

10 / OPTIONAL BENCHMARKS

FSSC 22000 · NSF/ANSI 173

Additional facility certification and dietary supplement evaluation frameworks to consider where relevant; they are not universal requirements or claimed SALAJE approvals.

Transparency, not invented seals. We will display verified certificates, accreditations and batch COAs only after review. Organic, halal, kosher, FDA-approved or third-party certified claims should never appear without appropriate evidence and market-specific review. EU novel-food source ↗ · EU contaminants regulation ↗
