Resolve the supplier before relying on the record.

Supplier Evidence Pilot · Point-in-time public-data sample · Reviewed August 24, 2026

A bounded research workflow for multilingual supplier identity, public FDA record screening, false-match rejection, and precise evidence requests.

Responsibility boundary. Origami Lab assembles and explains evidence. This work is not legal advice, a safety assessment, FDA approval or clearance, supplier approval, shipment release, or an FSVP compliance determination. Final approval and compliance decisions remain with Weee.

Uncertainty is an output.

The workflow does not collapse a consumer brand, seller, product company, legal manufacturer, physical facility, importer, and owner/consignee into one company. Each relationship must earn its own evidence.

Verified

A claim supported by an attributable source and matched to the relevant entity or product scope.

Candidate

A partial match that needs more evidence. A brand-name match alone never rises above this level.

Rejected

A plausible name match preserved with the exact country, address, entity, or product-scope conflict.

Unresolved

The reviewed public sources do not provide the evidence needed to decide.

Methodology

Separate the entities. Map marketplace, seller, brand, product company, legal manufacturer, physical facility, exporter, US owner/consignee, and FSVP importer independently.

Screen the records. Search public English and Japanese sources using confirmed names, aliases, addresses, countries, and product scope.

Preserve exclusions. Keep likely false matches in the audit trail and explain why they were not attached to the SKU.

Request the minimum evidence. Convert each unresolved field into a focused bilingual question and supporting-document request.

Refuse false clearance. When the facility, exact entity, product scope, or import responsibility is not established, the output remains unresolved and goes to human review.

Two cases
Two valid outcomes

One resolves a product and official company; the other rejects an unsupported FDA name match. Both preserve evidence gaps instead of guessing.

Fundokin Sweet & Tasty Soy Sauce 200ml

The Weee listing can be matched to Fundokin’s official 200ml product and official company using the product name, size, item code, product details, and a corroborated JAN. Public sources do not prove the exact manufacturing facility or identify the parties responsible for US import.

Facility boundary. Fundokin’s official factory page lists a soy sauce factory, but the reviewed public sources do not connect this SKU, item 4084, or JAN 4902581022524 to that facility. It remains a candidate, not a verified product-to-facility link.

Nissin Raoh Dandan Noodles

The listing can be tied to a Nissin Raoh product family. An unrelated Singapore FDA name match is rejected. Public evidence does not establish the exact sell unit or the legal entities responsible for manufacture and US import.

Corrections belong in the record.

If you can identify a factual error, a stronger primary source, or evidence connecting a listing to a legal entity or facility, email us. Include the claim, source URL or document, and the exact correction requested.

We review attributable evidence, update the public page when warranted, and retain the previous reasoning in the working audit trail.
