Ingredient Market Approval Check Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A formula uses a color or an emulsifier that is allowed in one market and banned or limited in another, and the problem shows up at registration. This agent checks each ingredient and use level in a new formula against the approved lists for each target market, including food category limits. It flags ingredients not permitted, over the maximum level or needing a warning label, and proposes alternatives. It then rechecks each alternative against the formula limits, such as function, cost and the other markets, until each market is cleared or the problem is clear. You approve the formula. Edge case: an ingredient allowed in the market but only for certain food categories is checked against the category of your product.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

For each ingredient, market and food category, it compares the use level to the permitted level. Anything not permitted, or above the limit, is a problem.

  • Ingredient not on the approved list: propose an alternative
  • Use level above the category maximum: reduce or propose an alternative
  • Alternative clears one market but fails another: suggest separate formulas
  • Ingredient requires a warning statement: add it to the label notes

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Target markets
  • Regulatory sources
  • Cost limit for alternatives
  • Food categories
  • Output format

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • The final formula
  • Market-specific variants

Hard limits

  • Never state a formula is legal, only that it matches the lists checked
  • Never use an unlisted ingredient

It stops when

  • Done: all markets cleared
  • Stop: regulatory list unavailable

An example run

What happensA drink formula used 150 mg per kg of a colorant. Market A allowed it up to 100, and Market B did not list it. The check failed. The agent suggested spirulina extract. It cleared A, but not Market C for the category, so the second check failed. A carotene option cleared all three at 60 mg per kg with a small cost increase. The scientist approved.
