Frozen Chopped Strawberries
We review the selected form, grade, process and packing against the technical schedule below. Published and TDS values are specification references for order review. External benchmarks apply only within their stated scope. Acceptance is governed by the signed SKU specification; the identified lot COA reports actual measured results.
01 / Physical & Sensory
| Parameter | Specification / reference | Verification & order basis |
|---|---|---|
| Related form options | Chopped / diced / small cutsPublished reference | The selected form shown above governs this schedule. Other published forms require their own cut, process and acceptance specification. |
| Cut Size | 8-12 mm, 10 × 10 mm, 3/8-1/2 inch, or customized according to applicationPublished reference | Measure a defined frozen sample with caliper or size gauge; report distribution and tolerance. |
| Variety | Sweet Charlie / Camarosa / crop variety available according to season and order planPublished reference | Check raw-material identity and variety/source declaration against the ordered programme. |
| Color | Natural red to deep red strawberry colorPublished reference | Compare with the approved sensory reference using the stated frozen/thawed/prepared condition. |
| Flavor & Odor | Typical strawberry flavor, free from off-flavorPublished reference | Compare with the approved sensory reference using the stated frozen/thawed/prepared condition. |
| Grade | Grade A / foodservice grade / industrial gradePublished reference | Confirm method, representative sample and acceptance basis in the signed specification. |

| Thaw yield / drip loss | For a drip-sensitive grade, define thawing conditions, draining apparatus and duration before setting a numerical target. | Record initial sample mass and drained liquid mass; drip loss (%) = 100 × drained liquid mass / initial sample mass. |
| Pesticide residue schedule | Named active ingredients and commodity-specific limits are selected for the destination market. EU source | Link farm spray history, laboratory LOQ and batch result to the destination MRL. EU database is one market reference; apply the actual destination rule. |
| Lead, cadmium and other contaminants | Apply the limit for the exact commodity and processed form in the destination market. EU source | State analyte, preparation basis, method, LOQ and lot result. Do not transfer a fresh-commodity limit to a processed form without the required assessment. |
03 / Microbiological Criteria
| Parameter | Specification / reference | Verification & order basis |
|---|---|---|
| Hygiene-indicator panel | Select aerobic count and relevant Enterobacteriaceae, coliform or E. coli indicators for the declared process and intended use. Codex | Report each quantitative result in CFU/g, method/reporting limit, sample plan and lot identity. |
| Pathogen acceptance programme | Define Salmonella and Listeria criteria when applicable to the destination, ready-to-eat status and buyer programme. Codex | State analytical portion, sample-unit plan, method and detected/not-detected reporting; identify the treatment and release basis. |
| Yeast & mould enumeration | Select separate yeast and mould criteria for the ordered grade and process; assess storage stability with the applicable product data. Codex | Report yeast and mould separately in CFU/g using validated matrix-specific methods. |
| Enteric-virus risk programme | For a direct-consumption berry programme, assess hepatitis A and norovirus controls and any buyer-required verification.
