Private-Label Century Egg Porridge for Retail & Foodservice

Why should you launch wholesale freeze-dried century egg congee for your customers?

Wholesale freeze-dried century egg congee gives importers and private-label brands a shelf-stable, premium comfort-meal SKU that needs only hot water to serve — a strong performer in retail, foodservice and emergency-ration channels. The recipe balances preserved (century) egg umami with tender lean pork and rice for a familiar Cantonese flavor, reformulated as ready-to-rehydrate blocks that preserve aroma and texture. 

This format solves cold-chain constraints, reduces in-store prep time for horeca channels, and fits a broad set of packaging options from single-serve sachets to 1–5 kg bulk food-service packs. Use it as a core instant meal or as a broth/base to build bowls and premium meal kits. (Light keyword usage: wholesale freeze-dried century egg congee.)

FAQ

Q1 — Can I order private-label samples before a full run?
Yes — sample kits are normally available for evaluation. Buyers usually cover express shipping; sample fees are often credited against the first bulk order. Expect sample lead times of about 7–15 days depending on stock and customization. 

Q2 — What export documents and certifications do you supply?
Standard export packs include COA, packing list, commercial invoice and origin documents. The factory operates under ISO/HACCP systems and provides BRC/FDA evidence and optional Halal certifications to support EU/US/Middle East approvals. 

Q3 — Which trade terms and shipping methods are supported (FOB/CIF)?
FOB and CIF are both routinely supported; airfreight is available for urgent launches and LCL mixed-SKU shipments are an option to reduce initial inventory risk. Discuss preferred Incoterms in the proforma invoice. 

Q4 — What minimums should procurement expect and why?
Standard minimums: ~500 kg bulk or ~10,000 pcs retail. These floor volumes help stabilize per-unit cost and ensure production efficiency; pilot or pre-production runs can sometimes be negotiated. 

Q5 — How does the factory control quality and consistency?
The facility uses advanced freeze-dry equipment and defined QA protocols, including batch traceability and microbiological testing per export standards. COAs and micro limits are available for each shipment.
