FAQ
The product must be kept at a steady -18°C or colder throughout distribution. Thermal abuse or partial thaw-refreeze cycles damages the breading adherence, causing batter detachment and moisture migration that impairs crispiness during final frying.
Units are packed into 5-ply moisture-resistant master cartons designed for cold storage stability. Standard pallets are stacked in interlocking patterns, secured with edge protectors and stretch film to withstand long-haul refrigerated trailer transport.
For optimal results, fry directly from the frozen state without thawing in commercial deep fryers at 170-180°C until the core reaches safe serving temperature. Commercial convection ovens with wire racks also achieve even crispiness while minimizing excess oil absorption.
Wheat gluten from the breadcrumb coating is the primary allergen. Formulations may contain traces of egg or soy derivatives from spice blends, which are clearly declared on the retail packaging in accordance with food safety labeling guidelines.
Export documentation includes the Veterinary Health Certificate from the official authority, Certificate of Analysis (COA) per production lot, Halal certificate, and national quality conformity documentation tailored to target customs requirements.
Domestic distributor MOQs are set by master carton tiers, whereas long-distance and export orders require reefer container volume thresholds. Production lead times typically range from 3 to 7 working days based on current cold-storage stock and run schedules.
Receiving teams must record the vehicle data-logger readout and probe internal product temperatures immediately upon arrival. Any documented temperature non-conformity triggers an inspection claim processed through formal logistics non-conformance channels.
