Preserved Kiwi Fruit Slices Wholesale — Premium B2B Supplier
Our Preserved Kiwi Slices represent the pinnacle of industrial dried fruit processing. Harvested at optimal ripeness, each fresh kiwi undergoes a meticulous sorting, washing, peeling, and precise slicing sequence before entering our climate-controlled dehydration facilities. The result is a vibrant, uniform green dried fruit snack that delivers an exceptional taste experience while maintaining structurally resilient characteristics necessary for downstream food manufacturing and packaging operations.
Why Global Food Importers Choose Our Preserved Kiwi
● Optimized Color Retention: Our proprietary low-temperature drying technology prevents enzymatic browning, ensuring a brilliant natural green display that elevates consumer visual appeal in any snack mix.
● Strict Chemical & Moisture Compliance: Moisture levels are uniformly maintained between 18-22% to eliminate microbial risks while preventing product clumping during bulk transit. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) content is strictly monitored to comply with specific target market regulations (FDA, EU, or regional standards).
● Structural Integrity for Industrial Mixing: The slices possess a perfect chewy texture that does not disintegrate when blended into trail mixes, breakfast cereals, muesli, or used as premium toppings in the bakery and confectionery industries.

B2B Supply Chain, Cold-Chain Warehousing & Logistics
As a seasoned exporter, we understand that preserving the quality of dehydrated goods during oceanic freight is critical. Our industrial packing features high-barrier double PE inner liners nested inside reinforced 5-layer corrugated master cartons (standard 10kg or 20kg configurations). To prevent sugar crystallization and color degradation caused by high transit temperatures, we offer temperature-controlled shipment planning and rapid dispatch mechanisms. Located closely to key international container ports, we ensure prompt container loading, automated custom clearances, and comprehensive phytosanitary documentation setup for seamless port entry worldwide.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is your standard policy on sulfur dioxide (SO2) levels in preserved kiwi?
A: We rigorously tailor our sulfiting process based on the regulatory limits of the destination market. For the European Union market, we restrict SO2 levels to below 100 ppm, whereas for other global regions we can adjust it up to 600 ppm to maintain a long-lasting, vibrant green aesthetic according to local preferences. Totally unsulfured variations can be discussed based on volume commitments.
Q2: Can we customize the thickness and sugar concentrations of the kiwi slices?
A: Yes, we provide extensive OEM/ODM manufacturing solutions. Our industrial cutting machinery can be precisely adjusted to output slice thicknesses ranging from 4mm up to 10mm. Furthermore, we offer custom syrup formulations to produce lower-sugar dried kiwi variations specifically engineered for health-conscious brands.
Q3: How do you guarantee that the kiwi slices do not clump or stick together during shipping?
A: Clumping is avoided by combining tight moisture control (strictly stabilized under 22%) with a specialized food-grade anti-stick dusting process if required. Additionally, our warehouse facilities maintain a strict temperature mapping protocol under 20°C prior to stuffing into seafreight containers, minimizing sugar migration.
Q4: What certifications do your processing lines hold for food safety compliance?
A: Our manufacturing facilities operate under global food manufacturing standards. We proudly hold certified registrations for ISO 9001, HACCP systems, BRC Global Standard for Food Safety, and can provide Kosher and Halal certified batches to meet diverse consumer religious and structural requirements across global markets.
