Quick answer: a cassava-tofu cat litter formula is defined by the buyer's specification — the ratio, binder, granule size, fragrance and packaging are confirmed before production. We supply and tailor cassava-tofu blends as a custom formula; we do not sell a fixed "stock" blend and we do not publish a "best ratio", because the right formula depends on your market, target price and channel.
What Does "Cassava–Tofu Cat Litter" Mean in an OEM Quote?
Two plant-based materials blended into one formula: cassava (yuca/mandioca) root starch and fiber plus tofu (soybean) fiber and starch. Blending lets a brand balance density, clumping behavior, flushability profile, allergen story and cost per bag — but every one of those outcomes depends on the ratio and the binder system. In an OEM quote, "cassava-tofu" is not a product name; it is the starting point of a specification conversation.
If your market needs a flushable claim, the tofu share dominates the formula decision. If your market is allergy-aware and willing to pay for a white, soy-free premium look, the cassava share dominates. Most blends land somewhere between — which is exactly why the ratio belongs in the RFQ, not in the brochure.
Define the Formula Before Comparing Suppliers
Send these fields with your inquiry so every supplier quotes the same thing (like-for-like):
| Formula Field | What It Decides | Our Practice |
|---|---|---|
| Cassava : tofu ratio | Density, flushability profile, allergen story, cost | Confirmed in the formula file after specification; not published as a stock value |
| Granule size | Clumping speed, sieve compatibility, automatic-box fit | Specified per market (e.g. 2–4 mm, 3–6 mm) |
| Color | Shelf look; white cassava base shows urine color changes | Natural white or specified |
| Fragrance | Retail perception vs. masking-only risk | Unscented default; fragrance is a masking agent — see our additives guide |
| Binder system | Clump strength and water solubility | Defined in the formula file |
| Moisture target | Mold risk on sea freight (5–9% range for plant-based) | Per-batch moisture test |
Ingredient Statement and Percentage Disclosure
The signed ingredient statement — cassava %, tofu %, binder, additives — is the first document of your import file. Request it with the quotation, not after the order. See our ingredient disclosure guide for what a complete statement must show.
Binder, Fragrance and Additive Disclosure
Guar gum, starch or synthetic binder? Activated carbon, zeolite or fragrance? Each changes clumping, flushability and the claim you can print on the bag. The additive system is part of the formula file and the COA — if a supplier will not disclose it, the quote is not comparable.
Batch Evidence Buyers Should Request
- Batch COA with batch number, production date, test method and results — see our COA reading guide;
- Lot identification and traceability from raw material to finished bag;
- Moisture-content test (plant-based range 5–9%) and the drying method;
- Moisture-barrier packaging confirmation (PE-lined bags, vacuum, coated cartons) — the mold risk is on the 35–45 day sea leg, not in the factory;
- Container loading plan with bulk density and bags per container — see our bulk density explainer.

Mixed-formula quotations drift apart on three fields more than on the FOB price. Lock them in the RFQ:
| Field | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Net weight, bulk density (method stated), bags per container | Plant-based blends are volume-limited on a 20' FCL — freight per bag, not per tonne, decides landed cost |
| FOB, ocean freight, PSS and destination costs | PSS changes move the decision window; see our freight guide for the current picture |
| Packaging language and print version | Spanish/Portuguese labels for Latin America at RFQ stage, not after production |

Questions Before Ordering a Mixed Formula Sample
- What cassava-tofu ratio and granule size fit my target market's price and claims?
- Does my market need a flushable claim (tofu-led) or a soy-free premium story (cassava-led)?
- What binder and additives are in the formula file — and what appears on the ingredient statement?
- What moisture content and packaging protect the product on my sea route?
- What is the batch COA, the MOQ and the mixed-load option — in writing?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is cassava-tofu cat litter a standard product?
No — it is a custom formula. The ratio, binder, granule size, fragrance and color are defined with the buyer and confirmed before production. We supply and tailor cassava-tofu blends; we do not publish a fixed "best ratio".
What do I need to specify for a cassava-tofu formula?
Target market, cassava-tofu ratio (or your preference), granule size, color, fragrance, bag weight, packaging design, estimated quantity per SKU and destination port. With those fields we confirm feasibility, provide the formula file, TDS, batch COA and an itemized quotation.
What performance values can I expect from a cassava-tofu blend?
Values are verified per batch with the method stated. Reference figures for the single materials: tofu 597 g/L with 96.1% clump rate (CTI batch report); cassava ~600–650 g/L. We do not publish blend-specific claims without a same-condition batch test.
Do you accept Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking inquiries?
Yes — arena de yuca y tofu para gatos al por mayor, arena de mandioca y tofu para marca privada. We reply with the formula file and quotation in the same language.
Can I mix cassava-tofu with other materials in one container?
Yes — mixed-load containers are standard. A 20' FCL can combine the blend with bentonite (weight anchor) or packaged product with ton-bags to balance weight and volume.
- Tofu 597 g/L, 96.1% clump rate — CTI batch report (Appendix 5/6, provided with TDS on request);
- Cassava ~600–650 g/L, plant-based moisture 5–9% — Jinan Silk Pet TDS, per batch;
- MOQ 18 t — plant-based class per our MOQ matrix; blend-specific MOQ confirmed in the written quotation;
- No blend-specific performance claims are published without a same-condition batch test;
