FAQ: IQF Cherry Tomato

 

FAQ	Question & Answer
1	Q: What product forms do you offer? A: We supply IQF Cherry Tomatoes in several forms to suit different applications. Our main offerings include whole tomatoes, halves, and diced pieces. We can also provide specific custom cuts based on your requirements.
2	Q: How do you process IQF cherry tomatoes to maintain quality? A: We use advanced Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) technology to freeze each piece separately. This ultra-fast freezing at very low temperatures (typically between -30°C to -40°C) minimizes the formation of large ice crystals, which helps preserve the tomato's cellular structure, natural color, firm texture, and nutritional value.
3	Q: Why might some IQF cherry tomato skins crack, and how is this managed? A: Skin cracking is a known phenomenon in frozen cherry tomatoes, often linked to the freezing process itself. Studies indicate that methods like vacuum pretreatment combined with IQF can result in higher skin cracking. Our expertise lies in optimizing the freezing parameters and selecting suitable tomato varieties to minimize this effect and deliver a product with optimal appearance and texture.
4	Q: Does freezing affect the nutritional value, like lycopene content? A: Quite the opposite. Proper IQF freezing is excellent for locking in nutrients. Research has shown that certain freezing methods, including IQF with vacuum pretreatment, can lead to high retention of beneficial compounds like lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant. Our process is designed to preserve these health attributes.
5	Q: What are the main applications in the food industry? A: IQF Cherry Tomatoes are incredibly versatile. They are perfect for salads (thawed), pizzas, pasta sauces, soups, stews, ready meals, and as a vibrant garnish. Because they are free-flowing, they allow for easy, portion-controlled use directly from the freezer in both food service and manufacturing settings.
6	Q: What is your standard packaging and weight? A: Our standard export packaging is 10 kg net weight per carton. Each carton contains a food-grade polyethylene (PE) inner liner to protect the product from freezer burn and maintain quality during transit and storage.
7	Q: What are the storage conditions and shelf life? A: To maintain optimal quality, IQF Cherry Tomatoes must be stored at -18°C or lower at all times. Under these consistent cold chain conditions, the product has a shelf life of 12 to 24 months from the production date, depending on the specific product form and packaging.
8	Q: What food safety and quality certifications do your products have? A: Our partner processing facilities operate under stringent international standards. We can provide products certified under HACCP, ISO, BRC, and Kosher protocols. We also have options for ECO-certified and organic cherry tomatoes. Please inquire for specific certification documentation.
9	Q: Can you provide private label or custom packaging? A: Yes, we offer comprehensive private label (OEM) services. We can package the product according to your specifications, including custom bag sizes, carton designs, and labeling with your brand logo and information.
10	Q: What is the typical Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)? A: For bulk orders of a single product, the standard commercial MOQ is typically one 20-foot reefer container. This ensures the most cost-effective freight and maintains the integrity of the cold chain. We also offer flexibility for mixed container loads with other compatible IQF products.
