Certification Compliance | International exports, religious markets | Industry Standard: FDA (21 CFR Part 110) Our Base: FDA + Halal (ICC) (▲) Our Advanced: FDA + Halal + Kosher (OU) (▲▲) | Ensures compliance for global markets and dietary restrictions (e.g., Muslim/Jewish communities) | Higher costs for advanced certifications (e.g., Kosher requires specialized supervision) |
Texture & Moisture Retention | Gourmet cooking, restaurants | Industry: 8% moisture (basic freezing) Base: 12% (blast freezing, ISO 22000) (▲) Advanced: 15% (cryogenic freezing) (▲▲) | Preserves tender texture for grilling/baking (reduces dryness) | Advanced freezing may require specialized storage (e.g., -40°C freezers) |
Omega-3 Content | Health-conscious diets | Industry: 1.2g/100g (standard) Base: 1.5g (fresh catch processing) (▲) Advanced: 2.0g (cryogenic preservation) (▲▲) | Supports heart health and brain function (verified via AOAC methods) | Higher price due to premium processing for nutrient retention |
Shelf Life | Long-term storage, distributors | Industry: 6 months (standard packaging) Base: 9 months (recyclable PET) (▲) Advanced: 12 months (biodegradable PLA) (▲▲) | Reduces waste for bulk buyers and retailers | Advanced packaging increases unit cost by ~20% |
Allergen Control | Allergy-sensitive households | Industry: Detects 5 allergens (basic testing) Base: 10 allergens (ISO 21010) (▲) Advanced: Zero cross-contact (20 allergens, ISO 22000) (▲▲) | Safer for consumers with allergies (e.g., shellfish, nuts) | Requires rigorous testing protocols, raising production costs |
Packaging Sustainability | Eco-conscious consumers | Industry: Non-recyclable plastic (PET) Base: Recyclable PET (ISO 14021) (▲) Advanced: Biodegradable PLA (ASTM D6400) (▲▲) | Reduces environmental footprint (PLA compostable in 180 days) | Biodegradable materials may have shorter shelf-life stability |
