IQF Frozen Raspberries by Grade

IQF Frozen Raspberries by Grade

We supply whole IQF frozen raspberries in 95/5, 90/10 and 80/20 whole-to-crumble grades. Choose the grade around the fruit appearance needed in your finished product, then select one 10 kg inner unit or four 2.5 kg bags in a 10 kg carton.

Choose the Whole-to-Crumble Ratio for the Fruit You Need to See

A whole raspberry topping and a fruit preparation blended into yogurt use the same fruit differently. The first keeps the berry visible; the second may break it down during mixing. Our three grades let a processor compare that difference before paying for intact fruit the process will not retain.

Keep the chosen ratio beside the approved sample and the intended application. Compare whole fruit, fragments and clumps in a representative frozen sample, then assess the fruit after your usual thawing, mixing or heating step. This links the purchase grade to usable appearance in the finished product rather than to the carton label alone.

Choose a Bag Unit That Fits the Production Batch

Both case configurations contain 10 kg of fruit. A single 10 kg inner unit fits a run that uses the full case, while four 2.5 kg bags provide separate opening units for staged additions or shorter runs. Compare the amount opened at one time with the amount your line consumes.

Keep grade and bag configuration as separate purchase lines. A change from four bags to one liner does not change the agreed fruit grade, and a change of grade does not establish a new carton weight. At receiving, compare net weight, inner-unit count, seals and lot marks with the accepted case.

Compare Usable Whole Fruit Alongside the Quoted Case Price

Use the same whole-to-crumble ratio and bag configuration when comparing offers. A lower carton price for a higher-crumble grade may suit a blended filling, but it does not represent the same visual fruit input as a higher-whole grade. A small production trial can show the usable whole-fruit recovery and handling losses that matter to your recipe.

Retain the accepted sample result with the order specification. For repeat purchases, use the same sampling and preparation method so changes in the process do not look like changes in the fruit. Loose fragments, clumping, color and the condition of the sealed bag are useful observations alongside the ratio.

Plan Frozen Stock Around the Crop and Lot

Our source crop runs from July to September in Fujian. Frozen storage extends use beyond harvest; the product has a 24-month shelf life at -18°C or colder. Stock rotation should therefore follow the production lot and remaining shelf life, rather than treating the crop month as a dispatch date.

During receipt, retain the carton identity and temperature records with the lot. Inspect cases from different positions in the load for damaged packaging and changes in frozen condition. Keep the approved grade identifiable through storage and issue to production.

Quality and Document Support

Keep the accepted product description, sample, packing format and lot identity connected through the order. Review XMSD certification information alongside the producing facility and destination requirements.
