Custom IQF Freezing & Ingredient Services

High-quality, custom Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) products for soup manufacturers, repackers, food processors, and industrial ingredient buyers. Sourced fresh and processed to your exact specifications.

Designed for industrial buyers and ingredient-volume customers, not retail

Is This Service Right for You?

Our IQF capability through F&S Fresh Foods is specifically designed for buyers who use frozen ingredients at industrial scale, not retail or foodservice end-users. If you recognize yourself in one of these profiles, we should talk.

Soup & Broth Manufacturers

You need a reliable, high-volume source of IQF vegetables, proteins, or specialty ingredients that consistently meet your spec, delivered on a scheduled program. We have the capacity and consistency to be your core supplier.

Repackers & Private Label Producers

You buy bulk IQF product and repack under your own brand or for retail programs. We can supply the raw IQF ingredient at competitive prices with the traceability documentation you need for your compliance programs.

Food Manufacturers & Processors

You incorporate frozen vegetable, fruit, or specialty ingredients into your manufactured products: frozen meals, side dishes, ingredients kits, or institutional packs. We supply clean, QC-tested IQF product at industrial volumes.

From Field to Frozen, Under Control Every Step

Our IQF process is designed to maximize the quality, freshness, and consistency of every product we freeze, from incoming raw material through final packaged output.

1

Sourcing & Receiving

Fresh produce and raw materials are sourced from qualified growers and inspected upon arrival for quality, maturity, and food safety compliance before entering the facility.

2

Washing & Preparation

Product undergoes washing, cutting, blanching, or other preparation steps as required by specification, all performed in our climate-controlled processing environment.

3

IQF Freezing

Individual pieces pass through our IQF tunnel freezers at precisely controlled temperatures, ensuring each piece freezes individually with no clumping or block freezing, for maximum quality and usability.

4

Pack & Store

Finished IQF product is packed to your specification, QC sampled, labeled with full traceability, and transferred directly into our adjacent frozen storage or staged for immediate outbound.

F&S Fresh Foods: Our IQF Affiliate

F&S Fresh Foods is an affiliated entity of Mid Eastern Cold Storage, purpose-built to serve industrial buyers who need reliable, high-quality IQF ingredients on a program basis. The two operations are physically co-located and operationally integrated, meaning your product moves directly from processing into long-term frozen storage without ever leaving our temperature-controlled environment.

Like Mid Eastern, F&S Fresh Foods is built around the same family values of quality, reliability, and direct accountability. When you work with F&S, you're not dealing with a commodity broker. You're working with the people who grow, process, freeze, and store your product.

We serve a selective group of industrial customers and take pride in building the kind of supply relationships where both sides understand the product, the process, and the expectations. If that sounds like how you prefer to do business, we'd welcome a conversation.
