Frozen (IQF)

Freezing in the Freshness

• IQF - Individually Quick Frozen
• Standard and Specialty Cuts
• Ready-to-Eat IQF

Harvested at their peak, F&S Produce’s vegetable products are frozen using the Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) process. Each individual cut is trimmed, cleaned, inspected, and – after leaving the freezing tunnel – re-inspected before packaging. The finished product is either delivered to the customer’s plant or placed in our outside freezer-warehouse, according to the customer’s specifications. The IQF process optimizes the flavor, texture, and nutrition in the items we pack for year-round availability.

Our IQF line offers both standard and specialty cuts to F&S Produce’s industrial customers. Carrots, celery, red and green bell peppers, jalapeño peppers, onions, and other vegetables, as well as blueberries and other fruits, all benefit from the IQF process.

F&S works closely with our customers' R&D and Quality Assurance departments to ensure that our products meet their needs. Our RTE (Ready-to-Eat) products are prepared utilizing the same careful methods as our RTE fresh-cut items and in addition, extended time/temperature blanching for an additional margin of safety. Microbiological specifications and other quality parameters are established and mutually determined between F&S and each customer.
