Manufactured in accordancePharma grade sugar—also called pharmaceutical-grade sucrose—is a highly refined excipient used in oral liquids, chewable/lozenge tablets, and nutraceuticals. Unlike commodity sugar, it is controlled for particle engineering, microbiology, elemental impurities, moisture, and documentation so it runs cleanly on pharma lines and qualifies under USP–NF / Ph. Eur. / IP monographs.
Quality system & documentation
Manufactured under excipient-appropriate quality systems aligned with IPEC-PQG principles. ISO 9001 quality management in place; EXCiPACT or equivalent third-party certification can be supported where applicable.
Standard documentation includes CoA, statement packs (TSE/BSE, allergens, GMO, halal/kosher), and a defined change-control procedure. with Indian, British Pharmacopoeia standards, ensuring suitability for use in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations globally.
