Common Buyer Risks and Our Quality Control Points

For frozen lotus root slices, buyers usually care about slice thickness, natural white color, browning control, mud or sand residue, peel residue, broken slices, black spots, crisp texture, packaging accuracy and cold-chain stability. GreenLand-food focuses on these points before production, during processing and before shipment.

Buyer Concern GreenLand-food Control
Browning or dark color We control raw material freshness, peeling, trimming, washing, optional blanching and fast freezing.
Mud or sand residue inside lotus root holes We strengthen washing and inspection before slicing and packing.
Uneven slice thickness We confirm thickness before production and check slice uniformity during processing.
Too many broken slices We control slicing, handling, freezing, packing and final inspection.
Peel residue We control peeling and trimming before slicing.
Black spots or damaged parts We sort raw material and remove visible defects before final freezing and packing.
Soft texture after cooking We select suitable raw material and control processing method by final application.
Clumping or excessive surface ice We control draining, IQF freezing and frozen storage condition.
Wrong cut form We confirm whole slice, half-moon, quarter cut, dice or irregular cut before production.
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.
