IQF Frozen Sweet Corn on the Cob Supplier
IQF Frozen Sweet Corn on the Cob for B2B Foodservice, Retail and Private Label Orders
GreenLand-food supplies IQF frozen sweet corn on the cob, frozen whole sweet corn cobs, mini corn cobs, and corn cob cuts for global importers, distributors, foodservice companies, HoReCa suppliers, retail frozen brands, private label buyers, ready meal producers, and frozen vegetable distributors.
We prepare sweet corn cobs through raw material selection, husking, silk removal, washing, size sorting, cutting by order specification, freezing, inspection, metal detection, packing, frozen storage, and export loading. We control cob length, natural yellow color, kernel fullness, missing kernels, damaged kernels, husk residue, silk residue, insect damage, excessive ice, clumping, and cold-chain condition for bulk and retail packing programs.
Product Forms and Cob Size Options
We supply frozen sweet corn cob forms for different sales channels and packing plans. Whole cobs serve retail packs, foodservice cartons, catering programs, barbecue supply, and HoReCa channels. Mini cobs and cob cuts serve portion-controlled foodservice, ready meals, meal kits, mixed vegetable packs, and repacking programs.
Reference sizes include 16-18cm and 18-20cm. We match cob length, diameter, kernel fullness, color, and packing count with the confirmed order specification.
Mini cob references include 3-4 inch, 4-6cm, and 5-7cm. We prepare cut length plans for retail bags, foodservice portion packs, and meal kit assembly.
Cob cuts suit catering packs, prepared foods, ready meals, mixed vegetable assortments, and foodservice cartons. We review cut length, broken rate, cob end defects, and packing strength before confirmation.
We also handle sweet corn kernels for mixed container sourcing, frozen vegetable distribution, and product-line planning with other frozen vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms.
Brix, Kernel Condition and Quality Options
Sweet corn cob purchasing depends on sweetness reference, kernel fullness, cob length, color, husk removal, silk control, and damage tolerance. GreenLand-food checks these points before packing so importers and distributors receive frozen corn cobs that fit retail, foodservice, and private label programs.
- Brix reference: 12° up by variety, crop condition, order specification, and COA.
- Color: natural yellow to bright yellow.
- Kernel condition: plump kernels, suitable fullness, controlled missing kernels, damaged kernels, and poor kernel rows.
- Cob condition: clean cob, husk removed, silk controlled, reduced cob end defects, and insect damage control.
- Frozen condition: controlled excessive ice, clumping, foreign material, packing damage, and cold-chain fluctuation.

| Raw-material preparation checks | Distinguish sweet-corn kernels, cob portions and baby corn; define the inspected edible fraction. | Verify the selected product flow and the relevant trimming, sorting and pretreatment record. |
| Blanching / enzyme inactivation | Time and temperature are product- and cut-specific; confirm residual-enzyme endpoint when relevant. Codex | Record validated line set-points and product sample test; assess colour and texture after treatment. Only classify as a CCP when the site's HACCP plan identifies it as one. |

The cited Codex standard excludes products indicated for further industrial processing. |
| Intrinsic defect classification | Cob fragments, silk, husk, dark kernels, tough immature/overmature kernels and cut damage. | Record each defect class separately by count or mass; state sample size, denominator and combined-limit rules. |
