Common Buyer Risks and Our Quality Control Points

For frozen bamboo shoots, buyers usually care about tenderness, fiber level, bitterness, cut size, color, old root parts, foreign matter, washing cleanliness, package accuracy and cold-chain stability. GreenLand-food focuses on these points before production, during processing and before shipment.

Buyer Concern GreenLand-food Control
Too much fiber or old texture We select tender bamboo shoots and remove old root sections before processing.
Excessive bitterness We control boiling or blanching process according to product requirement.
Wrong cut size We confirm dices, strips, slices or customized cut before production.
Uneven strip length or dice size We check size during cutting and sorting.
Dark color or browning We control raw material freshness, peeling, blanching, cooling and fast freezing.
Hard root pieces mixed in product We trim and remove unsuitable root parts before cutting.
Broken pieces and irregular shape We control cutting, handling, freezing and final inspection.
Off-odor We inspect raw material and control hygienic processing and frozen storage.
Clumping or excessive surface ice We manage draining, IQF freezing and storage temperature control.
Wrong retail label or carton mark We confirm artwork, barcode, net weight and carton mark before packing.
Microbiological risk We use hygienic processing, cold-chain control and COA support.
Metal contamination We use metal detection before final packing.
Shipment temperature fluctuation We review pre-cooled reefer container, loading inspection and photo record support.

How We Process IQF Frozen Spring Bamboo Shoots
