Sourcing Guide
The processed food and ingredient category spans a wide product range, so defining product specs concretely before ordering matters most. It mainly serves B2B channels that need large-volume orders — Korean food courts, hotels, airline catering, restaurant franchises — so trade is usually by the container and MOQ runs larger than other categories. When vetting a supplier, confirm HACCP as the baseline, and for foodservice supply, separately check additional certifications the channel requires, such as kosher or halal. Comprehensive food suppliers often handle OEM and ingredient wholesale together, so consolidating several items with one supplier improves logistics and management efficiency. However, shelf life, storage conditions, and packaging spec differ by item, so a mixed order must state each item's spec individually in the contract. Lead time varies widely by item and volume, so allow generous time, and run a first order verifying core items in small quantity before expanding to a regular supply contract. Most transport works with a standard container, but a mix of refrigerated and frozen items needs separate design.
FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity for processed food and ingredients?
Usually 5,000-20,000 cartons, larger than other categories. This is because the category mainly serves large-volume channels such as hotels, airline catering, and restaurant franchises, and trade is generally by the container.
Can several items be consolidated with one supplier?
Comprehensive food suppliers often handle OEM and ingredient wholesale together, so consolidated ordering is possible and improves logistics and management efficiency. However, since shelf life, storage, and packaging spec differ by item, each spec must be stated individually in the contract.
Which certifications should be checked for foodservice supply?
HACCP is the baseline, and depending on the channel — hotels, airline catering, franchises — additional certifications such as kosher or halal may be required. Confirm the target channel's certification requirements before ordering to avoid disruption after the contract.
