<\/figure>\n\nStep 1: Product naming and processing <\/h2>\n\n
It starts with the product name<\/strong>: for example, “Peeled shrimp, cooked, IQF<\/a>.” This product name tells you directly: <\/p>\n\n Also pay attention to terms such as “natural,” “breaded,” “smoked” or “precooked.” This determines your preparation method. <\/p>\n\n The label should always indicate the origin of the product<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n Note that the catch location is not always the same as the country of processing. In fish products, for example, this may mean: caught in Suriname, packaged in the Netherlands. <\/p>\n\n Each product contains a tracking code<\/strong> or (batch) lot number<\/a><\/strong>. This code allows the product to be tracked throughout the production chain: <\/p>\n\n At Mooijer we use tracking codes to guarantee that origin and processing are always traceable. Especially with certified products this is essential. <\/p>\n\n Always check:<\/p>\n\n This is important for food safety and quality.<\/p>\n\n The label states the net weight<\/strong> and sometimes the poured weight<\/strong> (for glaze products).<\/p>\n\n Note logos or designations of:<\/p>\n\n These labels indicate that the product meets sustainability and traceability requirements. Want to be sure the label is valid? Check the code on the authority’s website. <\/p>\n\n Compound or processed products (such as dim sum or spring rolls) are listed with:<\/p>\n\n This is especially important for customers with dietary requirements or allergies.<\/p>\n\n A frozen food label contains much more than just a name and a date. By paying close attention to product designation, origin, traceability and quality marks, you make better choices as a professional. At Mooijer Volendam, we value transparency: that’s why you’ll find the information you need to work with confidence on every product. <\/p>\n\n Want to know more about traceable or certified frozen foods?
