Mitsubishi Gas Chemical (MGC) announced new global certifications for its all‑natural ingredient MGCPQQ, underscoring the company’s continued commitment to delivering thoroughly vetted, safe, and trusted supplement components to a rapidly growing global consumer base.
The new designations, including FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification 22000) and Halal certification, expand MGCPQQ’s longstanding portfolio of internationally recognized quality and safety credentials, positioning the ingredient as one of the most comprehensively validated options available for supplement manufacturers.
Produced in Japan using MGC’s proprietary natural fermentation process, MGCPQQ is already recognized as the only pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) ingredient to have been successfully evaluated for safety and quality by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and to appear on the European Union’s approved Novel Foods list. With the addition of the FSSC 22000 and Halal certifications, MGC is further strengthening its end‑to‑end safety while widening the accessibility of MGCPQQ to new global markets and diverse communities.
These new certifications reinforce MGC’s rigorous approach to quality assurance, which includes advanced, data‑driven process monitoring and continuous optimization of its fermentation‑based production. Together, these developments help further validate MGCPQQ as a trusted ingredient for manufacturers looking to meet rising consumer expectations around transparency, safety, and proven effectiveness.
“We’ve always believed that supplement ingredients must meet the highest standards of quality and safety, and these new certifications reflect our unwavering commitment to delivering precisely that,” said Atsushi Sugimoto, Assistant Manager of Mitsubishi Gas Chemical.
Over the last 40 years, MGCPQQ has become one of the most thoroughly researched and tested supplement ingredients of its kind, with hundreds of in‑vitro, animal, and human studies evaluating its safety and functional benefits. Its proprietary fermentation method yields a natural, consistent ingredient that supports mitochondrial health and aligns with the quality standards increasingly valued by both manufacturers and end‑users. The expanded certification portfolio highlights the importance of verifiable quality systems, particularly at a time when consumers are seeking supplements with clearly documented sourcing, production, and safety credentials.
