A food-ingredient supplier may send a certificate, a specification sheet and a sample analysis before a first order. Each of these is tied to a particular site and a particular product, and the name on the website may be a trading entity that owns neither. This review reads the documents you were sent against public records and the issuer's published register, and reports what matches, what differs and what could not be established.
The review starts from the street address of the production site and the legal name on the certificate, then moves outward: the company record for that name, the website's own statements, and the certificate body's register where one is public. Each finding is labelled verified fact, inference, unavailable or client-provided.
A certificate with a matching name but a different site address is reported as a discrepancy, not as a match.
The review does not test an ingredient, read a laboratory result for correctness or assess whether a product suits your market.
Each item is a stated detail, followed by what it is read against.
The site address on the certificate is compared with the registered address and with how the supplier describes its plant. A plant that belongs to a different company than the seller is recorded as such.
Holder name, covered product categories and dates are read from the document and compared with the entry the issuing body publishes, where one exists. A product category the document does not name is listed as a scope gap.
A website can blur these. The review looks for stated processing activity and plant detail, and labels the conclusion an inference when only indirect sources exist.
Document issuer, laboratory name and batch reference are noted and listed as open points. The figures themselves are not judged.
The company's own statements. They are marked client-provided when they come from documents you supplied, and become a verified fact only where a source outside the supplier's control confirms them.
The main question is whether the distributor is the manufacturer or resells another maker's product, since the certificate may be the maker's only.
The comparison centres on the new supplier's site against the documents of the current one, so differences in scope are visible side by side.
The question is whether the blender is also the grower or processor of what is in the blend, and whether the certificate names the blending site at all.
Research reports what can be established from public and provided sources. It is not a guarantee about a counterparty's future conduct and not legal advice.
No. It does not assess product compliance. It records which documents the supplier cites and whom it names as issuer.
The point is reported as unavailable.
Only where a reviewed source ties the document or lot reference to a site. Otherwise that point is unavailable.
