Mushroom Extract Gummy Manufacturer for Functional Brands

Our Guangdong plant runs four dedicated gummy lines with a combined output of 12 million units per month. Each line handles depositing, cooling, demoulding, and oiling in a continuous flow. For mushroom extract gummies, we use precision depositors that hold fill weight within ±2% across a 2.5 g to 5.0 g range. This matters when your label claims 250 mg of reishi extract per gummy. We run pilot batches of 1,000 units for stability and taste testing before scaling to retail volumes of 1,000 units per SKU.

Changeover between SKUs takes 4–6 hours, including full washdown and allergen swabbing. We schedule mushroom runs in dedicated windows to avoid cross-contact with non-mushroom actives. Lead time from approved sample to mass production is 20–35 working days. That covers raw material QC, batching, depositing, curing, bottle filling, labelling, and final release. Air freight samples ship in 3–5 days; sea freight for full orders depends on destination port.

Mushroom extracts arrive as fine powders, often hygroscopic and earthy in taste. We pre-blend them with carriers such as tapioca syrup solids or acacia fibre to improve flow and dispersion. For pectin gummies, we adjust the calcium source and pH to keep beta-glucans stable through the cook. For gelatin gummies, we use 220–250 bloom gelatin and control the curing room at 20–22°C and 30–35% relative humidity for 48–72 hours. Typical extract load is 100–500 mg per gummy.

Flavour systems matter. Lion's mane and reishi carry strong bitter notes. We use natural masking agents, fruit powders, and acids like citric or malic to round the profile. Vegan options use pectin or modified starch. Organic claims require certified organic extract and organic sweeteners. We can also add vitamin C, zinc, or elderberry for immune-positioned SKUs. Every formulation is tested for active markers, including beta-glucan content by enzymatic assay, before release.

Every incoming mushroom extract batch is tested for identity, heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial load. We retain samples for 24 months. In-process checks cover Brix, pH, fill weight, and texture at 30-minute intervals. Finished gummies undergo stability testing at 25°C/60% RH and 40°C/75% RH for 3–6 months. We provide certificates of analysis for each batch. The facility is FDA-registered and holds GMP, ISO 22000, and HACCP certifications. halal certification are available per project.

Label compliance is your responsibility, but we review artwork for mandatory statements: net quantity, ingredient list, allergen declarations, and supplement facts. For the EU, we check novel food status of each mushroom species. For the US, we confirm the extract is generally recognised as safe or has a prior market history. For the Middle East, we verify halal status of every excipient. We do not claim FDA approval. We provide the documentation your importer needs.

Mushroom extract gummies are packed in HDPE bottles (60, 90, or 120 count), blister packs (10 or 12 per card), stick packs (single-serve 5 g), or sachets (3 g or 5 g). Bottles are induction-sealed and fitted with child-resistant caps where required by the destination market. We stock standard white and amber bottles, and can source custom colours or shapes with a 5,000-unit minimum. Blister forming uses PVC/PVDC or aluminium cold-form foil for moisture-sensitive formulations. Stick packs are filled on vertical form-fill-seal lines with a fill accuracy of ±2%.

For the US market, we prepare FDA-compliant dietary supplement labels with the following elements: statement of identity, net quantity of contents, Supplement Facts panel with serving size and active ingredients, other ingredients list, directions for use, and allergen declarations. We also include the required “Distributed by” or “Manufactured for” statement, and a domestic address or phone number for adverse event reporting. Lot and expiry codes are inkjet-printed on the bottle shoulder and the carton, in a format you specify (for example, LOT 12345 EXP 2027-06). We do not print claims that require FDA pre-approval, and we flag any structure/function claims for your legal review.

Cartons are specified as 350 gsm kraft or white board, with dimensions matched to the bottle or blister. We print lot codes and expiry dates on the carton via inkjet, and apply a tamper-evident seal where required. Standard export cartons hold 24 or 48 bottles, with a maximum gross weight of 15 kg. Pallets are 1,200 mm × 1,000 mm or 1,200 mm × 800 mm, stretch-wrapped and strapped, with a maximum height of 1,800 mm including the pallet. We provide a packing list with carton dimensions, net and gross weights, and pallet configuration.

For Amazon FBA and other retail channels, we apply FNSKU labels to each unit and poly-bag units where required. We can print and apply FNSKU labels in-house, and we follow your FBA shipment plan for carton labelling (for example, “Ship to Amazon” and “Made in China” markings). For retail chains, we support GS1 barcodes (EAN-13 or UPC-A) on the label and carton, and we can provide a certificate of insurance for product liability if your retailer requires it. We do not handle retail packaging design, but we review your artwork for regulatory compliance before printing.

The sampling process starts with a formulation brief and a target specification. We provide a quotation within 2 working days and a draft formulation within 5 working days. Sample production takes 7–10 working days after you approve the formulation and pay the sample fee. Samples are shipped by courier (DHL or FedEx) at your cost, typically arriving within 3–5 working days. The sample fee is refundable against the first mass production order. We provide a sample COA and a stability summary for the sample batch.

Mass production begins after you approve the sample and pay the 30% deposit. The production window is 20–35 working days for standard gummy formats, depending on the number of SKUs and the packaging format. Bottling adds 3–5 working days; blister packing adds 5–7 working days. We send a production schedule within 2 working days of deposit receipt, and we provide photo updates at the depositing, packaging, and cartoning stages. Final payment is due before shipment, and we release the goods only after the balance is cleared.

We ship by air or sea. Air freight is suitable for samples and urgent orders up to 500 kg, with transit times of 5–10 days to major airports. Sea freight is cost-effective for full container loads (FCL) and less-than-container loads (LCL), with transit times of 25–40 days to European and North American ports. We quote EXW, FOB Shenzhen or Hong Kong, and DDP for select markets. DDP includes customs clearance and door delivery, but we require your importer of record details and a valid product listing where applicable.

Shipping documents include: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and a free-sale certificate. For plant-based ingredients, we provide a phytosanitary certificate where the destination country requires it. We also provide a certificate of origin (Form A, Form E, or general CO) to support preferential tariff treatment. Documents are sent by courier and email within 3 working days of shipment. We do not provide legal or customs advice; we recommend you confirm import requirements with your customs broker.
