Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Israel rank as the top supplier of magnesium chloride to the US?

Israel's Dead Sea brine is exceptionally rich in magnesium salts, giving Israeli producers a natural feedstock advantage for large-scale magnesium chloride extraction and processing at competitive cost.

Are there regulatory considerations for importing food-grade magnesium chloride?

Yes. Magnesium chloride used as a food additive or coagulant (e.g., in tofu production) is subject to FDA oversight. Importers should ensure the product meets applicable food-grade purity standards and is properly declared by intended use.
