MATERIAL GOVERNANCE

Raw Material Qualification & Change Control

How Redhill and affiliated manufacturers define, verify, approve, trace, and change bentonite, plant fibers, starches, additives, fragrances, and packaging inputs.

VERIFICATION PRINCIPLE

Raw-material quality is not proven by terms such as mine-direct, food-grade, natural, IFRA-compliant, or certified supplier unless current evidence supports the exact source, material, holder, and scope. The buyer file should connect each approved input to a specification, supplier, receiving record, production batch, and change-notification rule.

Five input groups

Five input groups

01

Bentonite minerals

Origin, mineral status, approved source, particle-processing route, moisture, contaminants, and the finished-SKU performance link.

02

Soy and other plant fibers

Material identity, composition, moisture, microbiological or contaminant limits where agreed, storage, and claim evidence.

03

Cassava and other starches

Botanical source, composition, additives, binding behavior, moisture sensitivity, supplier lot, and packaging barrier needs.

04

Fragrances, deodorizers & functional additives

Supplier identity, formula reference, dosage, safety and regulatory documentation where applicable, claim review, and change notification.

05

Packaging inputs

Film or bag structure, print standard, migration or material evidence where applicable, seal performance, net-weight tolerance, and supplier lot.

Approval and release controls

Approval and release controls

Redhill coordinates the buyer-facing specification and evidence matrix. The assigned affiliated manufacturer remains responsible for site-level supplier approval, receiving controls, production records, and records issued in its legal name.

  • Material specificationDefine identity, critical limits, test or inspection method, evidence, and acceptance rule before approval.
  • Supplier and source recordRecord the legal supplier, source or manufacturing site where relevant, current document holder, and approved material code.
  • Incoming control planSet sampling, visual checks, test scope, quarantine, release authority, and nonconforming-material handling by risk.
  • Production-batch linkConnect the released incoming lot to the manufacturing order, finished-product batch, packaging lot, and retained records.
  • Change controlRequire prior notice and buyer review for source, supplier, composition, process, specification, document, or claim changes.

Evidence requested by stage

Evidence requested by stage

Before sample approval

Material identity, proposed source, supplier declaration, target specification, claim questions, and initial risk review.

Before production

Approved material codes, formula version, incoming plan, sample approval, test methods, acceptance limits, and change commitments.

Before shipment

Finished-batch identity, agreed COA or test record, inspection evidence, packaging lot, release approval, and shipment link.
