Import Tips
• Include pasteurization validation records in documentation to demonstrate food safety compliance
• Label with complete protein breakdown to prevent misclassification as lower-concentration whey blends
• Ensure packaging prevents moisture absorption which could affect dry matter protein percentage calculations
