Product Overview

Individual fast freezing (IQF) is a popular method for keeping a wide range of fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, and seafood products fresh for longer periods of time while also streamlining the supply chain and reducing the risk of product loss or injury. IQF is a method of freezing meat and poultry products at temperatures ranging from -30°C to -40°C, which preserves them for longer periods of time, often even a year, while preserving key characteristics such as taste, color, flavor, and texture before they are consumed. IQF meat and poultry products are kept at extremely low temperatures or in refrigerators ahead of time. The IQF technology is suitable for preserving meat and poultry because it prevents the growth of microorganisms that cause staleness and bad odor. The nutritional value and consistency of IQF meat and poultry products are expected to be the same after freezing as they are when they are fresh, which is a major factor driving the global growth of IQF meat and poultry products.
