Limits from the manufacturer’s specification sheet SP-FP-104 (v04). Batch release tests: sensory, moisture, total cells, culturable count, aerobic count, mold, yeast, 16S rRNA identity and Amuc_1100; a type test is run annually. The batch COA prevails over this table.
Grades
Potency Grades and What TFU/g Means
| Nominal grade (TFU/g) | Specified range (TFU/g) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0×1012 | 1.0–3.0×1012 | Featured grade |
| 2.0×1011 | 2.0–6.0×1011 | Featured grade |
| 1.0×1011 | 1.0–3.0×1011 | Lower end of the specification range; on request |
Because the powder is heat-inactivated, potency is stated as total cells: TFU (total fluorescent units) per gram, measured by an in-house total-cell count method. It is not a CFU figure and should not be compared with probiotic counts. The culturable count is held below 10 CFU/g by specification. Each grade has its own specified range, so the COA shows the measured value for your lot. For details on how total-cell potency relates to formulation stability, see Pasteurized vs Live Akkermansia. To evaluate supplier testing and batch documentation, read our Akkermansia Supplier Checklist.
Shelf life
Storage, Shelf Life and Stability Data
The specification gives a 36-month shelf life with room-temperature storage and transport, and no cold chain. The development-lot data below show total cells and moisture unchanged through 6 months of accelerated and 12 months of long-term conditions. A liquid-system stability study (3.4×1010 TFU per 100 ml at pH 4–5 and pH 6–7) is also available on request.
| Parameter | Day 0 | 6 months, 40 °C / 75% RH | 12 months, 25 °C / 60% RH |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture | 1.5% | 0.91% | 1.5% |
| Total cells (TFU/g) | 1.1×1012 | 1.0×1012 | 1.1×1012 |
| Culturable count | < 10 CFU/g | < 10 CFU/g | < 10 CFU/g |
Internal manufacturer data on one freeze-dried lot. Long-term data beyond 12 months are not shown here; the 36-month shelf life is the specification value.
Guide
Working With Akkermansia Powder
Stick packs and sachets
Dry-blend with carriers and flavors. Avoid humid blending rooms and keep moisture-sensitive partners (such as some effervescent systems) away from open powder, then verify the finished stick with a stability study.
Gummies and chews
Cells are inactivated, so there is no viability to protect, but depositing temperature, pH and water activity can still affect the matrix. A popping-boba gummy has been developed as a format example by the manufacturer.
Liquids and beverages
The powder forms a uniform suspension in water. Add a stabilizer or suitable texture, test sedimentation and check a pH of 4–7 range, where liquid-system stability data exist.
Label-claim approach
Because the labeled metric is total cells, viability-loss overages are not needed in the way they are for living-bacteria products. Set your claim and overage policy from your own stability study, and keep the wording “pasteurized”.
Combinations
Compatible in the manufacturer’s testing with plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, collagen and fish or krill oil. Pair with dihydromyricetin (DHM) powder or golden dark tea extract for blends.
Handling
Receiving and Handling Bulk Powder
- Check the packConfirm the lot number, grade and COA on arrival and inspect seals.
- Store correctlySealed, room temperature, dry store, at least 10 cm off floor and wall, away from odorous or volatile goods.
- Open and resealOpen only what you need, take out and reseal the pack promptly to limit moisture uptake.
- Blend and fillUse food-grade equipment and standard dust control; the powder is fine and can be airborne.
- Retain samplesKeep retention samples per lot for your own stability and complaint handling.
OEM / ODM
Ordering Bulk Powder, OEM/ODM & Private Label
- Pick a grade, request the specification sheet and a sample COA, then approve a sample lot for your own testing
- Private-label and white-label supply, plus formulation help for capsules, sticks, gummies and liquids
- Regulatory documents on request: specification, COA, GRAS conclusion summary, deposit and certificate details for your file

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does TFU/g mean on the specification?
TFU is total fluorescent units, a total-cell count (in-house SOP MOA-UN-110). It counts all cells in the powder, whether or not they could grow, which is the appropriate metric for a heat-inactivated ingredient. It is not comparable with probiotic CFU. See our explainer: What is pasteurized Akkermansia?.
Is the powder live?
No. It is pasteurized, then freeze-dried, and the specification limits the culturable count to below 10 CFU/g. Please do not label it as a live-bacteria product. Compare formats in our pasteurized vs live guide.
Which grades can I order?
The featured grades are 2.0×1011 and 1.0×1012 TFU/g. The specification also defines other nominal grades within 1.0×1011 to 1.0×1012 TFU/g, so ask if you need a specific target.
How do I store the powder?
Keep it sealed at room temperature, in a dry store, at least 10 cm off the floor and walls, and away from toxic, odorous, volatile or corrosive goods. Reseal the pack promptly after opening. Shelf life per the specification is 36 months.
Does it disperse in water?
The manufacturer describes the powder as easily dispersing in water to a uniform suspension, with a particle size of 60 mesh or finer. It is a suspension, not a solution, so test sedimentation and mouthfeel in your own beverage base.
Which allergen statements apply?
The manufacturer states that all production materials are food-grade, non-animal-derived and free of allergenic ingredients. Request the formal allergen statement for your file.
