Clean Label Revolution: The 0% SO2 Global Standard.
The global phase-out of sulfur dioxide and the shift towards biogenic standards.
Sulfur dioxide (E220, SO2) has been the food industry's go-to preservative to keep dried apricots, raisins, and mangoes looking artificially bright. However, modern consumers demand uncompromising purity. The Clean Label standard mandates the complete elimination of sulfites. We share how ALHUNG became Vietnam's first exporter to achieve an absolute 0 mg/kg SO2 standard in industrial mango supply.
1. Toxicological Headwinds & Compliance Barriers
Sulfites are recognized as potent allergens. In the EU and USA, if SO2 content exceeds 10 mg/kg, it must be boldly declared as an allergen on packaging. For high-end organic lines and infant nutrition, the allowable limit is non-detectable. Importers face immense financial and reputational risks, including entire container rejections at customs, if batch values fluctuate.
2. ALHUNG's Bio-Technical Alternative
How do we preserve the beautiful deep-golden hue of mangoes without E220? The solution is built on three pillars: 1) Harvesting exclusively at physiological maturity peak when natural antioxidant counts are highest. 2) Swift pre-treatment and blanching in purified water with organic citric acid. 3) Dehydration in a closed, oxygen-deprived dome, preventing enzymatic browning at its core.

РЕГУЛЯТОРНЫЕ СТАНДАРТЫ ИМПОРТА SO2:
Высокий риск задержки партий на таможне при нарушении маркировки сульфитов.
Наш промышленный показатель 0.00 мг/кг SO2 гарантирует прохождение любых таможенных и лабораторных тестов (Eurofins, SGS) в любой точке земного шара. Вы застрахованы от штрафов и отзывов продукции.
3. Economics of Clean Trust and B2B Margins
Guaranteeing a true '0% SO2' label unlocks instant entry into premium retail networks across Germany, France, Japan, and North America. Our B2B partners receive raw materials that confidently clear any Eurofins or SGS screen. This strict Clean Label compliance elevates the final retail value by 25-30% compared to sulfited alternatives, proving that pure ingredients drive premium margins.
SECURE DOSSIER
The era of chemical-laden preservation is coming to a close. ALHUNG demonstrates that technical ingenuity and consumer health respect allow brands to dominate markets based purely on natural excellence.
