What We Couldn't Verify
- Very large chemical conglomerate (EUR 69B+ total revenue). Newtrition is a small portfolio within the Nutrition & Health division
- Divested omega-3, plant sterol, and CLA product lines to Louis Dreyfus Company (completed September 2025); supplement portfolio is now narrower than historical
- July 2024 fire at Ludwigshafen facility caused 12+ months of force majeure on vitamins A, E, and carotenoids; supply chain disruption impact may be ongoing
- No direct US manufacturing for supplement ingredients. Distributed via ChemPoint and Univar Solutions
- Certification details beyond cGMP not independently verified from public databases
- On-site facility inspection was not conducted
