The ongoing Indo-Pakistani tensions and the recent U.S. tariff policies are poised to disrupt global trade in food ingredients, with projections indicating a sharp surge in raw material costs and logistics expenses.

In light of the current lenient regulatory environment for naturally fermented propionates, we urge suppliers to uphold transparency in labeling and marketing practices regarding fermentation sources. Proactive integrity today will ease the transition as we anticipate stringent regulations to emerge imminently.
Collaboration and accountability across the supply chain are critical to sustaining trust and stability in this evolving landscape.
