Suanzhuangyuan
Probiotic Pickles
Low-salt, probiotic-fermented Guilin suancai from a food producer holding a Chinese SC production licence to 2031 — export registration, headcount and destination-market food compliance are the open checks.
Pickled greens, fermented differently.
Probiotic Pickled Mustard Greens (Suancai)
The company’s only listed product: pickled greens fermented with a compound probiotic culture instead of the high salt, preservatives and additives traditionally used (supplier-stated). Ask for the ingredient list, salt content per 100 g, pH, shelf life, storage temperature and whether live cultures survive to the end of shelf life.
Rice-Wine-Lees Fermentation Base
The application describes using lees from Guilin Sanhua rice wine as the fermentation liquid. Lees can carry residual alcohol; ask for the alcohol content of the finished product, which matters for halal markets and some import categories.
Retail Packs
Consumer pouches or jars for supermarkets and Asian grocery chains. Specify pack size, packaging material, and labelling language; ask whether packs are pasteurised or refrigerated.
Food-Service Packs
Larger packs for restaurants serving hot-pot, noodle and fish dishes that use suancai. Confirm drained weight and case configuration.
Private Label
OEM packing under a buyer’s brand is common for pickled vegetables. Agree recipe ownership, label claims and who holds destination-market registrations.
Guilin Regional Specialities
The scope includes grain-processed food and primary agricultural processing. Ask whether other Guilin products can be supplied alongside suancai.
What the registry confirms, and what stays open.
A Licensed Food Producer
Food production licence SC11645030201190 was issued on 2026-01-08 and runs to 2031-01-07, and a food business filing dates from January 2024. Food production, health-food production, grain-processed food production and food workshop operation are among the licensed items in scope. In China, packaged food cannot legally be produced without an SC licence; ask for the licence detail page listing the approved product categories and production address.
A Probiotic, Lower-Salt Positioning
The application’s selling point is replacing high salt, preservatives and additives with compound probiotics, fermented in Guilin rice-wine lees. That is a product claim, not a verified fact. Any “probiotic” or health wording on export labels is regulated; ask for strain names, CFU counts at end of shelf life and lab results.
No Export Route on Record
Import and export are not in the registered scope and no customs registration appears. Food exports from China also require the producer to be filed with Chinese customs as an export food production enterprise. Ask whether that filing exists or which exporter will be used.
Destination Rules Not Yet Addressed
The application targets the US, Canada, France, Japan and Korea. The US requires FDA food facility registration and compliance with preventive-controls and labelling rules; the EU requires the product to meet EU hygiene, additive and labelling law through an EU importer; Japan and Korea have their own import food notifications. None of these was documented.
Young Company, No Insured Staff
The company was registered on 2023-03-27 with RMB 1 million registered capital. No insured staff appear, against 10–50 stated. The registered address is in Lujia village, Jiashan, Xiufeng District, and the company is registered as having multiple business addresses under one licence. Ask where production takes place.
A Corporate Shareholder on the Abnormal List
The company has no adverse record of its own. Its corporate shareholder, a Guangzhou biotechnology company of the same name root, is listed for failing to file an annual report. Key personnel changes were also recorded recently.
What was checked — and what the check found.
The stamp rests on a registration check plus the permission that matters most for a food maker: the credit code passes the national check-digit rule, the company is active, and it holds a Chinese food production licence valid to 2031 with a food business filing. What stays open: no import/export clause, customs or export food-producer filing; no insured staff; a corporate shareholder on the abnormal-operations list; and no lab data behind the probiotic and low-salt claims or documents for the target markets. What would close it: the licence detail page, lab reports on salt, pH, microbiology and live cultures, and a plan for export filing and destination-market registration.
A Guilin food producer, read off the record.
Guilin Suanzhuangyuan Food Technology Co., Ltd. (桂林酸状元食品科技有限公司) was registered on 2023-03-27 in Xiufeng District, Guilin, Guangxi. It makes pickled mustard greens — suancai, the sour pickled vegetable used across southern Chinese cooking — fermented with compound probiotic cultures in a base made from the lees of Guilin’s Sanhua rice wine, positioned as a lower-salt, preservative-free alternative (supplier-stated).
The Chinese record supports the core requirement for a food maker: a food production licence issued in January 2026 and valid until 2031, and a food business filing from 2024. The licensed scope also covers health-food and grain-processed food production and primary agricultural processing.
Exporting food is a longer road than producing it. The company has no export registration, no insured staff on record and no destination-market documents yet, while it targets North America, France, Japan and Korea. Buyers should treat this as an early-stage export supplier and plan compliance together. Contact routes through ChinaMakersHub; direct details are exchanged after first inquiry.
