Wild Blueberries
Our Individually quick frozen (IQF) Wild Blueberries are prepared from sound, ripe, fresh fruit of the native blueberry bush (Vaccinium Angustifolium) that have been cleaned, de-stemmed, washed, sorted and frozen by the IQF method.
Process
Our Wild Blueberries are Individually Quick Frozen within hours of harvest, locking in their field freshness and goodness....they really are as nutritious as the day they are picked.
Using the latest processing technology in our manufacturing facilities, we have the capacity to process over 3 million pounds of Wild Blueberries a day during our harvest season. With frozen warehousing that can accommodate over 150 million pounds of storage, the Wild Blueberries once frozen are stored in our warehouses until they are sorted, packed and shipped to you, our customer.
All our facilities have rigorous quality systems. We use the latest sorting technologies to remove any foreign material such as leaves and stems before freezing to ensure only the highest quality to our customers. We have a highly skilled and dedicated QA department, an on-site Microbiologist and state of the art Micro analysis equipment allowing for real time micro data on our products. Our facilities are registered through the applicable government agencies (CFIA, USDA). We ensure our quality systems meet local and international customer requirements.
