Q. Does 'Fermented (microbial fermentation product)' classification affect export documentation?
Yes. Animal-origin ingredients require BSE/TSE statements for many markets; marine-origin ingredients commonly need radiation-test certificates for post-2011 Japan exports; microbial/fermented ingredients may require non-GMO and substrate-origin documentation. Buyers should request the relevant ingredient-class documentation up front.
