Food-grade Egyptian salt — ISO 22000 / HACCP / Halal sea salt and rock salt for direct food contact
Food-grade sodium chloride is defined by Codex STAN 150-1985: NaCl ≥ 97 % on a dry basis, controlled heavy metals, and a declared additive regime. Egypt Globe Group supplies two Egyptian origins against that baseline. North Sinai (El-Arish / Bardawil) and Red Sea (Ain Sokhna) sea salt is solar-evaporated, washed to 97.5–98 % NaCl and vacuum-evaporated or double-washed to ≥ 98.5–99.5 % for fine, medium and coarse food grades, iodised table salt, organic-certified, low-sodium NaCl / KCl blends, fleur de sel and smoked finishing salt. Siwa Oasis and Qattara Depression rock salt is crystalline halite at ≥ 98.5 % NaCl in fine and coarse food cuts, with naturally low calcium and magnesium and a dry 1.0–1.5 % natural moisture.
Thirteen SKUs run from 25 kg and 50 kg bags for food manufacturers to 500 g / 1 kg retail packs for private label, and to 1 MT FIBC and bulk vessel for salt refiners, from 240 MT containerised. The food-contact chain is run under ISO 22000, HACCP and FSSC 22000, with Halal certification; Egypt Globe Group does not hold Kosher certification and does not claim it. Food processors that have sourced from inconsistent regional exporters know the failure mode: a lot that passes on NaCl but fails on lead or insolubles at the buyer's lab. Egypt Globe Group's Quality Assurance division has been in place since incorporation in 2014, with laboratories at the saltworks and mines and QC teams at every port. Specification is guaranteed at the port of loading and binding under the sales contract; a lot outside its CoA is rejected at the port, never re-graded or renegotiated.
