Psyllium Husk Supply to Manchester Market
Manchester bakeries source psyllium through Port of Felixstowe and Port of Liverpool. Transit time from Gujarat runs 28-32 days to Felixstowe. UK demand for bakery-grade psyllium grew 18% last year as gluten-free production expanded. Manchester sits near major flour mills in Yorkshire. Buyers here need consistent 85% purity for bread improver formulations. Food manufacturing compliance requires FSSAI and UK import standards. Most orders ship in 20ft containers holding 12-14 MT. Price works because this grade meets Food Standards Agency requirements without premium processing costs.

Food Grade 85% Specifications
This grade maintains maximum 10% moisture content. Purity sits at 85% minimum with up to 15% admixture allowed. Mesh size runs 60-100, which dissolves properly in dough hydration. Color stays white to off-white, matching clean label requirements for UK bakeries. The 85% purity works for bread improvers because it provides fiber content and water binding without affecting crumb color. Lower moisture prevents clumping during storage in humid UK conditions.
