Sugar-Free Supplement Manufacturer for Global Brands

Our plant runs separate blending and compression suites for sugar-free batches to prevent cross-contact with sucrose or maltodextrin. We operate 12 encapsulation lines, 8 tablet presses and 4 gummy depositors. For powders, we use fluid-bed granulation and spray drying to keep flowability without sugar carriers. Typical batch sizes range from 50 kg to 500 kg. We can produce sugar-free capsules, tablets, chewables, stick packs, jar powders and pectin or gelatin gummies. Changeover cleaning and allergen controls follow a documented SOP with swab testing.

For brands scaling from pilot to retail, we support 1,000-unit runs for market testing, then move to 5,000-50,000 units per SKU for full launch. Packaging options include HDPE bottles, PET jars, stick packs, sachets and blister packs. We can nitrogen-flush bottles for oxidation-sensitive actives. Our team provides fill weight tolerance data, moisture content and hardness specs before you commit to a purchase order. Lead times hold at 20-35 working days for most sugar-free formats.

Sugar-free does not mean one-size-fits-all. We formulate with high-intensity sweeteners such as stevia (Reb A, Reb M), monk fruit, sucralose and acesulfame K, and with bulk sweeteners including erythritol, allulose, maltitol, xylitol and sorbitol. Each choice affects taste profile, glycemic impact, laxative threshold and label claims. Our formulation team tests binary and ternary blends to reduce aftertaste and improve mouthfeel. For gummies, we adjust pectin or gelatin ratios and use allulose or erythritol to match texture without sucrose. For tablets, we select sugar-free binders and disintegrants that compress cleanly.

We also handle sugar-free coating systems for tablets and chewables, using erythritol or isomalt-based coatings. Flavour systems are available in natural, natural-identical or artificial categories, and we can match existing market benchmarks. Every formula is reviewed for compatibility with your target market's labelling rules, including US FDA 21 CFR 101, EU Regulation 1169/2011 and GCC standardisation. If you need a sugar-free claim plus vegan, we check ingredient certifications before sampling.

EUPHM operates a GMP-certified and FDA-registered facility with ISO 22000 and HACCP systems. Incoming raw materials are tested for identity, potency and heavy metals. Finished batches undergo micro testing, water activity, disintegration and weight variation checks. We retain samples for 24 months and provide certificates of analysis per batch. For halal programmes, we maintain segregated storage and documented cleaning records. vegan claims are supported by supplier certificates and internal audits.

We ship from Guangdong to US, EU, UK and Middle East ports. Typical transit times are 18-25 days to Los Angeles, 25-32 days to Rotterdam, 22-28 days to Felixstowe and 12-18 days to Jebel Ali. We handle FOB, CIF and DDP terms. Documentation includes commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, health certificate and, where required, halal certificates. Air freight is available for urgent pilot batches, with 5-8 day transit to major hubs.

Every sugar-free batch is tested at three stages: incoming raw materials, in-process samples, and finished goods. Identity and potency are confirmed by HPLC or UV-Vis against reference standards. Microbial testing covers total aerobic count, yeast and mould, E. coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus. Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) are screened by ICP-MS. Disintegration testing follows USP <701> for tablets and capsules, with typical limits of 30 minutes for immediate-release dosage forms.

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is issued for each batch and includes the product name, lot number, manufacturing date, expiry date, tests performed, specifications, results and acceptance criteria. It also lists the testing laboratory and authorised signatory. Retention samples of every batch are kept for at least two years beyond the expiry date under controlled temperature and humidity. Stability protocols follow ICH Q1A(R2) conditions, with accelerated testing at 40°C/75% RH for six months and long-term testing at 25°C/60% RH for up to 24 months.

For sugar-free claims, we verify that the final product contains less than 0.5 g of sugars per serving and that sugar alcohols, if present, are declared accurately. Sweetener assays (stevia glycosides, monk fruit mogrosides, allulose, erythritol, sucralose) are performed to ensure label compliance. Batch records are retained for five years and are available for audit by appointment. Deviation and out-of-specification investigations are documented with root cause analysis and corrective actions.

Environmental monitoring in production areas includes air settle plates and surface swabs for microbial counts. Water used in formulations is tested for conductivity, microbial limits and endotoxins where applicable. All testing is performed in-house or by accredited third-party laboratories, and results are traceable to the batch number. This documentation supports regulatory submissions in the US, EU, UK and Middle East markets, where sugar-free claims are increasingly scrutinised.

We offer primary packaging in HDPE bottles (60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 cc), glass bottles, blister packs (PVC/PVDC or alu-alu), stick packs and sachets. Bottles can be supplied with induction seals, child-resistant closures and desiccant canisters. Blister cards can be printed with lot and expiry coding. Stick packs are available in 5 g to 30 g fill weights, suitable for powder blends. Secondary packaging includes retail cartons, display boxes and shrink-wrapped trays.

For the US market, labels must include the statement of identity, net quantity of contents, nutrition facts panel, ingredient list, allergen declaration and the manufacturer or distributor name and address. Sugar-free claims require the product to contain less than 0.5 g of sugars per serving, and sugar alcohols must be declared with a footnote if they exceed 0.5 g per serving. We provide dieline templates and can review artwork for FDA dietary supplement label compliance before printing.

Lot and expiry coding are applied by inkjet or laser on bottles, cartons and blisters. Cartons are specified with dimensions, board grade (typically 300-350 gsm) and print process (offset or digital). Pallet specifications include dimensions (1200 x 1000 mm or 1200 x 800 mm), stack height, stretch wrapping and edge protectors. We can apply Amazon FNSKU labels, polybagging and retail-ready packaging for e-commerce fulfilment.

For EU and UK markets, labels must comply with FIC regulation, including nutrition declaration, allergens and claims authorised under Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. We provide bilingual labels where required. All packaging materials are food-grade and meet EU 10/2011 and US FDA 21 CFR requirements. Packaging samples are provided for approval before mass production, and we retain packaging specifications for traceability.

Sample requests are processed within 7-10 working days after receipt of specifications and payment of sample fees. Samples are shipped by courier with tracking, and the fee is credited against the first mass production order. Mass production begins after sample approval and receipt of deposit, with a production window of 20-35 working days depending on dosage form and packaging complexity. Capsules and tablets typically require 20-25 working days, while gummies and powders may require 25-35 working days.

We offer EXW, FOB Shenzhen or Hong Kong, and DDP terms. Air freight is available for urgent orders, with transit times of 5-10 days to major hubs. Sea freight is more economical for larger volumes, with transit times of 20-35 days to US and EU ports. We provide a packing list, commercial invoice, bill of lading or airway bill, Certificate of Analysis, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), free-sale certificate and, where relevant, phytosanitary certificate and certificate of origin.

For DDP shipments, we handle customs clearance and delivery to your door, including duties and taxes where applicable. Shipping documents are issued within 3 working days after shipment. We recommend booking sea freight at least 45 days before your expected retail launch to allow for production, transit and customs clearance. Air freight is suitable for pilot runs or replenishment orders. All shipments are insured at 110% of invoice value unless otherwise requested.
