Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our products, manufacturing processes, and wholesale distribution.

Q. 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.
Q. What is freeze-dried candy?
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.
Q. 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.
Q. 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.
Q. Can we become the exclusive distributor for your company?
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.
Q. How long is the delivery period?
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.
Q. Can I request free samples? How long will it take, and what is the cost of shipping?
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 order.
Q. 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.
Q. 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.
Q. What logistic support services do you provide?
We provide a variety of logistic support services based on your trade agreement. These services can include coordinating with your shipping agent, container booking, cargo consolidation, customs clearance, preparing shipping documents, and delivering bulk cargo at the port of shipment.
Q. What is the Minimum Ordering Quantity (MOQ)?
Determining the Minimum Ordering Quantity (MOQ) is influenced by multiple factors. For example, if shipping by air, we can dispatch as little as one master carton of any product. Similarly, the MOQ can vary based on the type of packaging, the product itself, and the combination of products in a single order. Our goal is to balance logistics costs and product costs to ensure the final landing cost is both economically and commercially viable. Therefore, the MOQ is contingent on factors such as the mode of transportation, the destination, the type and packaging specifications of the products, destination and country-specific loading restrictions, transit time requirements, and any other international import and export restrictions or limitations. Please reach out to us with your specific requirements, and we will provide you with an accurate response.
Q. Why does soft candy expand after freeze-drying, and what makes it so delicious?
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. The process removes all the water in the candy, leaving a concentrated, intense flavor profile that is porous and light in texture. Every bite delivers an explosion of flavor sure to satisfy everyone's taste buds.
Q. Is freeze-dried candy suitable for dietary restrictions and safe for children?
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. Freeze-dried candy is generally safe for children, but it’s important to supervise younger kids while eating it. The candy can be quite light and crunchy, so ensure they chew it properly to avoid any choking hazards.
