Define the Strawberry Grade Before Comparing Supply
Whole-fruit diameter, cut geometry, maturity and broken condition change both price and application performance. Start with the finished use and the receiving standard.
PRODUCT
Whole-fruit grade
State diameter, whole percentage, broken tolerance and whether the grade is calibrated or uncalibrated.
BUYER FIT
Cut geometry
Define halves, slice thickness or dice size together with off-size and damaged-piece limits.
SUPPLY PLAN
Color and maturity
Agree the natural red direction, ripeness, firmness and acceptable discoloration.
Choose the Strawberry Form That Fits the Process
Whole berries serve retail and visible-fruit applications; halves, slices and dice support controlled inclusions; puree serves beverage and preparation lines. Keep each presentation's size and defect criteria separate.
Visible strawberries presentations
The current range includes 4 presentations for buyer discussion.
Use the form name as the starting point, then add the required size, tolerance and application.
STANDARDS & PROGRAMS
Food Safety and Certification Support
Tell us the standard, destination and customer requirement. We provide certification and production details with the product and quotation.
Confirm Strawberry Origin, Crop Window and Stock by Order
We coordinate variety direction, China origin, production timing and frozen inventory with the order. Public inspection images support product discussion, while the order file identifies the relevant sample, facility and lot.

These are real frozen-strawberry handling and inspection frames, not generated factory scenes. Each caption states what the image can support and what still belongs in the signed specification or identified lot record.
STRAWBERRY-SPECIFIC
Post-freeze sorting
Frozen strawberry pieces are manually sorted after freezing. This supports visible-condition and foreign-material checks; the acceptance limits remain in the signed specification.
STRAWBERRY-SPECIFIC
Size check
A frozen strawberry is checked with a caliper. This supports declared fruit-diameter or piece-size verification for the sampled lot.
STRAWBERRY-SPECIFIC
Sample weight check
A frozen-strawberry sample is weighed during inspection. Sampling and net-weight rules are stated in the order specification and recorded against the identified lot.
Evidence scope: The photographs support strawberry form, sorting, size and sample-weight discussions. They do not by themselves identify the facility, production date or commercial lot; those references are confirmed in the order file.
Match strawberries to the buyer's operating context.
Application changes the importance of form, piece consistency, preparation behavior, pack handling and evidence.
MANUFACTURING
Beverage and fruit preparation
Define the strawberries form, ingredient use, texture target and process requirement.
FOOD PRODUCTION
Bakery, dairy and dessert
Confirm visible fruit integrity, portion behavior and further-processing needs.
FOODSERVICE
Kitchen and menu programs
Review thawing or preparation workflow, pack handling and portion consistency.
CHANNEL
Distribution and private label
Connect the approved product to carton, retail pack, artwork, coding and destination requirements.
Confirm the current supply route instead of relying on a fixed calendar.
Strawberries origin and production timing can vary with the product requirement and confirmed supply plan.
We confirm the current origin, crop or production window and available schedule for strawberries against the inquiry.
For repeat business, share the annual or seasonal call-off pattern so continuity can be reviewed with the approved specification rather than by product name alone.
- Required origin or acceptable alternatives
- Target shipment window and repeat plan
- Product, process and pack continuity
- Backup option reviewed against the same specification
Packing and Applications for IQF Frozen Strawberries
Whole berries and visible cuts need case-weight and handling choices that limit breakage. Industrial, foodservice and retail programs add different fill, film, artwork, carton and loading controls.
Application — updates the recommendation below
Packing family — updates the image and case options above
Pack construction: Food-grade PE liner and export carton; plain bag, adhesive label or printed bag; barcode and customized carton marks.
Loading plan: Pallet loading, floor loading or food-grade tote format as stated in the confirmed purchase order.
Configuration illustration — real strawberry packing and refrigerated-container evidence is shown in the next section.
Keep pack approval connected to the cold-chain handoff.
The first two frames show strawberries during packing preparation. The loading frame is deliberately identified as a shared frozen-food shipment reference rather than a strawberry-lot claim.
STRAWBERRY-SPECIFIC
Lined export cartons
IQF strawberries are shown in food-grade liners inside export cartons before closure. Final liner, carton, net weight and marks follow the approved packing specification.
STRAWBERRY-SPECIFIC
Inner-bag filling
Frozen strawberries move into food-grade inner bags during packing. Pack weight, seal and label checks are confirmed for the selected run.
SCOPED REFERENCE
Reefer loading reference
Representative reefer-loading evidence from an XMG-coordinated frozen-food shipment. Strawberry carton count, temperature, seal and handoff records are tied to the specific order.
Evidence scope: Before shipment, the approved order file should connect the strawberry specification to the inner pack, net weight, carton marks, carton count, loading plan, temperature instruction, container and seal record.
Keep the Strawberry Approval Connected to the Lot
Strawberry approval should connect the product-specific sorting, size and sample-weight evidence to an approved sample, written limits and the identified lot records for the order.
| Decision field | What to confirm | How we coordinate it |
|---|---|---|
| Product and lot identity | Form, size, variety direction, production lot and pack code | Keep sample, signed specification, COA, carton marks and shipment documents on the same reference. |
| Visible condition | Colour, maturity, damaged fruit, discolouration, surface ice, clumps and foreign material | Set measurable acceptance limits in the signed specification and retain the agreed inspection record. |
| Size and sample weight | Declared size, sampling method, mass fraction and net-weight check | Use caliper or size screen and calibrated weighing evidence appropriate to the approved method. |
| Chemistry and contaminants | Brix, pH, acidity, pesticide residues, heavy metals and destination-market limits | Agree the accredited test scope and connect the released result to the identified lot. |
| Microbiology and metal detection | Agreed microbiological release limits; Fe 2.0 mm, non-Fe 2.5 mm and stainless steel 3.0 mm detector challenges | Confirm the relevant method, facility record and lot-specific reporting scope. |
| Packing release | Liner or bag, net weight, seal, label, coding, carton marks and loading count | Approve pack details before production and retain the agreed packing or pre-shipment record. |
Know which proof is reviewed at each buying stage.
We keep public images separate from controlled buyer documents. Tell us the destination, customer standard and approval stage so we can confirm the relevant file, holder, scope and sharing route.
| Evidence | Review stage | What it connects | Buyer receives |
|---|---|---|---|
| Controlled specification | Qualification / before PO | Form, size tolerance, physical, chemical, microbiological and packing fields | Current approval version with revision control. |
| Sample approval | Qualification / application trial | Sample identity, application feedback, requested changes and sign-off | Agreed sample reference and recorded approval status. |
| COA template and lot COA | Qualification, then lot release | Agreed release fields to the identified production lot | Template for scope review; lot-specific results after testing. |
| Accredited test scope | As required by market or order | Pesticide residues, heavy metals, microbiology or another agreed risk | relevant report or controlled copy tied to product and lot scope. |
| Pack and label approval | Before packing | Inner pack, net weight, artwork, coding, carton marks and approval owner | Approved artwork or pack reference connected to the order. |
| Inspection and shipment record | Pre-shipment / handoff | Product and pack checks, carton count, temperature, container and seal | Agreed inspection, loading and handoff evidence for the shipment. |
