How to Read a Moringa Leaf Powder Label

Whether you are buying a single pack for your kitchen or sourcing moringa leaf powder for a store, the label is the first place to look. A clear label tells you who made the product, what is inside it and how it should be stored.

The essentials to check

• Product name and ingredient list. The pack should state what the product contains. If anything other than moringa leaf is included, it should be declared.
• Net quantity. The weight of the contents, for example 100 g or 250 g.
• Batch or lot number. This lets the producer trace a pack back to a specific production run if there is ever a question.
• Date of manufacture or packing, and a best-before or use-by date.
• Name and address of the manufacturer, packer or marketer.
• Food licence details. Packaged food sold in India is expected to carry the applicable FSSAI licence or registration number. If you are unsure, ask the seller.
• Storage directions. Dry powders generally keep best in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

Questions to ask a bulk supplier

If you are buying for resale or for use in your own products, ask for:

1. A product specification sheet.
2. Any laboratory test reports available for the batch you are buying, and the date of testing.
3. Pack formats, minimum order quantities and lead times.
4. How the supplier handles complaints, replacements or batch queries.

A reliable supplier should be comfortable sharing what they have and clear about what they do not have yet.

Be cautious with bold claims

Moringa is a widely used plant ingredient, but food products should not be sold as a treatment or cure for any condition. Treat strong health promises on packaging or advertising with caution, and speak to a qualified professional about any dietary or medical questions.
