Is dietary ingredients fall Food Sector Category 31 in SQF (not finished dietary supplement) or FSC 19 (Food ingredient). We don’t made finished dietary supplement but we make blend. Could you please explain? To me it is bit confusing for some ingredients.

Thank you.

From the info you provided it appears that 31 would apply even though you are not manufacturing - technically speaking BOTH 19 & 31 could apply as well.
