B2B & Logistics FAQ

Find clear answers regarding quality control, container ordering, delivery times, and OEM partnerships for Germany.

How do you ensure quality control and food safety?
We have a dedicated quality control team that monitors the entire production process, from raw materials to finished products. If any issue arises, immediate corrective actions are taken. Samples from each batch are tested in our in-house lab, and products are either cleared for export or rejected based on the results. Our factory holds certifications like ISO22000, HACCP, BRC and FDA standards, which ensure top-level compliance. Additionally, our facilities have been inspected and approved by major brands such as Disney and Costco. Our products meet California Proposition 65 safety standards. Upon specific customer request, we can also arrange for third-party inspection reports.
How do you handle quality issues if they occur?
We take swift and empathetic action on customer quality complaints. We request all necessary details, including photographs and videos, to understand the specifics. We then address the problem, whether it involves replacing the product, offering a refund, or taking other appropriate corrective actions. We keep the customer informed throughout the process and maintain complete transparency. After resolving the issue, we follow up to ensure we've reinforced our valued customers' trust in our product and brand.
Can I choose different items for one container?
While it's not our preferred option, we can accommodate up to 5 different items per container. However, having a high number of items impacts production efficiency because each item requires a mold change. These frequent changes result in longer production times, delivery delays, and increased production costs, which we strive to avoid. To ensure a faster turnaround, we recommend limiting your order to 1-2 SKUs per container.
Can we become the exclusive distributor for our region in Germany?
We're truly honored by your confidence in our products and brand. However, various factors must be considered. Let's start by building a stable partnership. If our products perform well in your market, we'd be delighted to grant you exclusive distribution rights, recognizing your efforts in market development and long-term maintenance. We always support our top-performing customers by rewarding them and protecting their market. We're attentive to customer needs and work to prevent unnecessary competition for the same products within the same market.
How long is the delivery period to Germany?
Delivery times vary based on multiple factors, including the number of products per container, custom-designed packaging, import and food safety protocols, ordering timing, and logistics availability. Depending on these variables, delivery can range from 15 to 45 days.
Can I request free samples and how is shipping handled?
Yes! We will be happy to provide free samples. The delivery time for samples typically ranges from 7 to 10 days, depending on your location and customs procedures. As for the shipping cost, it will vary based on the destination and the chosen shipping method. Please provide your shipping details so we can give you a precise quote. We'll happily refund the shipping cost by deducting it from your first bulk order.
Can you produce products under our brand (OEM)?
Absolutely! We produce confectioneries for leading brands and retailers, and our professional design team can customize products and packaging to meet your ideas and requirements. Depending on your needs, there may be additional costs for OEM services beyond the product cost. Feel free to contact us for more details.
What are your payment terms and methods?
As a standard norm and company policy, we require a 30% down payment along with the order, and the remaining 70% before the shipment. We offer multiple convenient payment methods, such as wire transfer, Western Union, PayPal, and more. Simply choose the option that suits you best.

Freeze-Dried Candy Science & Storage FAQ

Understand the technology, benefits, storage guidelines, and dietary capabilities of freeze-dried sweets.

What is freeze-dried candy and how is it made?
Freeze-dried candy is a type of confectionery made through a low-temperature vacuum drying process that removes moisture. This method preserves the food’s original color, flavor, and aroma while preventing nutrient loss and spoilage. Freeze-dried candy also extends the shelf life of the product, making it safer and more hygienic for storage.
How should freeze-dried candy be stored?
Freeze-dried candy should be stored in a cool, dry, and airtight sealed container or bag, away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity. It’s best to consume the candy shortly after opening. If not, reseal it in an airtight bag or container to prevent moisture absorption and softening. If you notice any unusual odors, discoloration, or mold, do not consume the candy and discard it immediately.
Why does soft candy expand after freeze-drying?
Soft candy expands during freeze-drying because of sublimation. When the candy is subjected to extremely low temperatures and pressure, the moisture inside transforms directly from ice to vapor. As the water vapor expands, it causes the candy to puff up, giving it that expanded look and porous, crunchy texture.
What makes freeze-dried candy different from regular candy?
The key difference lies in the freeze-drying process, which removes moisture and intensifies the flavor. This results in a unique texture and a longer shelf life compared to traditional candies, which often contain higher moisture levels and artificial preservatives.
Is freeze-dried candy suitable for dietary restrictions?
Many freeze-dried candies cater to various dietary restrictions, but it's crucial to check the product label for exact specifications. We provide options that are gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan, ensuring everyone can enjoy them.
Are there any health benefits to freeze-dried candy?
Freeze-dried candy isn't exactly a health food, but it does have some benefits. The freeze-drying process can preserve more of the vitamins and minerals found in the original ingredients compared to traditional candy-making methods. Plus, it usually has fewer additives and preservatives. That said, it's still candy, so enjoying it in moderation is key.
Can freeze-dried candy be used in recipes and decoration?
Absolutely! Freeze-dried candy can be a fun and flavorful ingredient in various recipes. Use it as a topping for desserts, mix it into trail mixes, or blend it into smoothies for a unique twist. And for decoration? Definitely! Freeze-dried candy is perfect for decorating cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. Its vibrant colors and unique textures make any treat look amazing.
