Audit-Ready Pineapple Dices for Retail & Industrial Use

Industrial 5x5mm Freeze-Dried Pineapple Dices — Bulk & OEM

How do industrial 5x5mm freeze-dried pineapple dices deliver consistent visual and flavor impact?

Industrial 5x5mm freeze-dried pineapple dices are small, uniform fruit cubes made from ripe pineapple and processed by low-temperature vacuum sublimation to lock in color, aroma and enzymes (including bromelain). The 5×5 mm dice format is ideal for high-speed dosing on cereal & granola lines, snack mixes, bakery inclusions and instant beverage toppers — offering visible fruit presence with no added sugar and minimal stickiness. This cube size reduces fines and dosing variability while lowering freight cost per fruit-equivalent, making it a practical choice for brands scaling seasonal tropical SKUs.

FAQ

Q1 — Can I get evaluation samples and who pays freight?
Yes — evaluation samples (commonly 100–300 g) are available for formulation & QC. Many suppliers provide product samples while buyers cover express courier fees; express charges are often credited against the first paid PO — confirm the sample policy in writing with your sales contact. 

Q2 — Are you a manufacturer or a trading company? What proof should I request?
Request evidence of factory-direct freeze-dry lines (photos/video), recent audit reports (BRC/ISO/HACCP), IQF pre-freezing logs, batch COAs and the retention-sample policy. Factory-direct producers with contracted orchards reduce seasonal risk and speed up traceability clearance during retailer audits. 

Q3 — Which trade terms do you offer — FOB or CIF — and which should I pick?
Both are supported. Choose FOB if you prefer to nominate your forwarder and control inland logistics; choose CIF if you want the supplier to arrange ocean freight plus insurance to your port. For pilots, request both quotes plus LCL/mixed-load options to compare landed cost. 

Q4 — What documentation comes with shipments?
Standard export pack: COA, microbiology report, packing list and commercial invoice. Certification copies (BRC, HACCP, FDA, Kosher/Halal) can be provided on request for importer/retailer onboarding. 

Q5 — How do you minimize dice breakage and color loss in transit?
Ask for protective packing (tray inserts, reduced headspace), thicker inner foil liners, nitrogen flushing and UV-blocking outer cartons. Insist on packing photos and, if needed, a short transport simulation to validate breakage KPI before full production. 

Q6 — What lead time should R&D & procurement plan for?
Stock orders: ~15 days. OEM/ODM: ~25–30 days after deposit (volume and customization dependent). Always confirm the production slot and PI terms before committing.
