Our clean-label freeze-dried apple slices bulk deliver a crisp bite, bright aroma and real-fruit color with no added sugar or additives—ideal for granola, snack mixes, baking toppers, fruit teas and instant beverages. Gentle lyophilization preserves the apple’s natural taste and nutrients while creating a lightweight, shelf-stable ingredient that runs smoothly on high-speed lines and ships efficiently across seasons. Slice thickness is typically 10–20 mm, with other cuts and meshes available to suit formulation needs.

Q1 — Can I get samples for R&D, and who pays the courier?
Yes. Evaluation samples can be arranged for formulation and QC; suppliers typically provide product while buyers cover express freight (often credited to the first PO—confirm in PI).
Q2 — Are you factory-direct? What evidence should I request?
Yes—production is factory-based with full traceability. Ask for line photos/video, recent BRC/HACCP/ISO audit reports, batch COA templates and retention-sample policy; the process flow (IQF → freeze-dry → packing → inspection) is described on the page.
Q3 — What’s the difference between sealed shelf life and opened shelf life?
Sealed product typically carries 18–24 months shelf life in correct packaging. Once opened, life depends on humidity control; the page notes general guidance for freeze-dried foods and reinforces cool, dry storage out of sunlight. Use desiccants and re-seal between runs.
Q4 — Which should I choose, FOB or CIF?
Pick FOB if you want to nominate your forwarder and control inland logistics; choose CIF if you prefer the supplier to arrange ocean freight and insurance to your port. For pilots, compare LCL vs FCL and consider mixed-SKU consolidation with other FD fruits to lower landed cost.
Q5 — What are the standard export packing options?
Bulk 5 kg / 10 kg per carton with double-PE or foil inner and five-layer carton outer. OEM/private-label retail packs are also available on request.
Q6 — What microbiological standards should we expect on the COA?
Typical panels include total plate count, yeasts & molds, coliforms and key pathogens (Salmonella, S. aureus, Listeria) reported as absent in 25 g—verify against your market’s requirements.
