For manufacturers and formulators in the food and cosmetic industries, adhering to regulatory standards is as critical as product efficacy. Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a widely used ingredient, and its application is governed by specific regulations across different regions. Understanding these compliance requirements is essential for businesses that purchase and utilize BHT to ensure their products meet legal and safety standards. As a responsible manufacturer and supplier, we prioritize regulatory compliance in our BHT production and distribution.

In the food industry, BHT is recognized by regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In the United States, BHT has Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status for specific uses and concentration limits, typically as an antioxidant to prevent rancidity. Similarly, in Europe, BHT is permitted as a food additive under E number E321, with defined usage levels. For food ingredient buyers, ensuring that the BHT they purchase is compliant with these regulations is paramount. When you choose to buy BHT, always verify its compliance and request relevant documentation from your supplier.

The cosmetic industry also has its own set of regulations concerning the use of ingredients like BHT. In many regions, including the EU and the US, BHT is permitted in cosmetic products, often with specified maximum concentration limits to ensure consumer safety. For example, the EU Cosmetics Regulation outlines permitted uses and labeling requirements. Cosmetic formulators must stay informed about these regulations to guarantee that their products are compliant. Sourcing BHT from a supplier that adheres to these stringent standards is vital for market access and brand reputation. We are committed to providing BHT that meets the regulatory expectations for cosmetic applications.
