Fumaric acid availability

[Tomtegubbe]

I'd like to try the FASA tek, but can't find anyone selling fumaric acid in my country. Is this a common chemical that is safe to order by mail (inside EU) or is it more commonly available under some other name?

Thank you, just looking for basic information.

It's an approved food additive and also used in the treatment of psoriasis so it should be pretty safe to order.

Thank you! Seems like there are stores selling it for consumers. I think it's time to upgrade my methods a bit.

I could only get it in minimum 50kg quantity where I live. Crazy but not as expensive as you’d think. Eventually persuaded the company to refer me to a customer who might be willing to sell smaller amounts. They put me onto a place that makes Mexican food like tortillas and tacos etc. Apparently a major ingredient raw material in the flour mixes. Got a kilo for less than $20.

Yep, I’ve seen it available from online culinary suppliers and it can be purchased in quantities that are reasonable for a home kitchen. It’s known for making things taste fruity.
