It is essential for IFF and it's customers to know if suppliers (manufacturers, distributors or importers) of our raw materials have pre-registered, and if they will ultimately register their substances as required under REACH. This is to ensure, for IFF, that raw materials we use will be available in the future and our specific use will be covered by a registration. Note that, although flavor ingredients are generally excluded from REACH legislation, when used in oral care or when the ingredient is also used in fragrances in the EU, they fall within the realm of REACH and must be considered.
