Freeze-Dried Mango
FruitBuys supplies 100% freeze-dried mango (Mangifera indica L.) from Vietnam as slices, cubes, bites and granules, in bulk for food manufacturers and in retail packs for private-label brands. Every lot ships against two release values measured on the same sample, 3–5% moisture and water activity below 0.30, with a lot-matched COA.
We supply through an integrated model: raw-material direction, production partners, quality control, packaging, documentation and export logistics under one commercial contact. You approve one defined product, not a sample and a promise.

Freeze-dried mango fills a container by volume, not weight, so freight is best compared per kilogram loaded. See why freeze-dried mango costs what it does.
Quality and documents
- Lot COA from an ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory, with lot code, method, limit, result and release status
- Batch records on request: fruit intake, drying cycle, sorting, packing and mass balance
- Sealed retained sample of the approved sample, held by both sides
- Facility certification (HACCP, ISO 22000, BRCGS or equivalent) at partner facilities; certificate body, number, scope and expiry provided with the quotation

How release values and COA content should be written into your contract is covered in the freeze-dried mango product specification, sample approval and bulk comparison in the sample-to-bulk guide.
Import and labeling
- HS direction: 0804.50 (mangoes, fresh or dried) for 100% mango pieces; your customs broker confirms the national tariff line and duty
- EU: dried mango enters at 0% duty
- Nutrition labeling: from SKU analysis, formatted to 21 CFR 101.9 (US), Regulation 1169/2011 (EU) or GSO 9 (GCC). Freeze-dried mango carries roughly 350 kcal per 100 g; fresh-fruit values cannot be used
- Product name: “freeze dried mango”, consistent with Codex naming

FAQ
What moisture and water activity do you release at?
3–5% moisture and water activity below 0.30, both measured on the same sample. A lot that fails either is not shipped.
Is it 100% mango?
Yes: no added sugar and no added sulphite. The COA shows added sugars at 0 g and SO₂ below 10 ppm.
How many kilograms of fresh mango go into 1 kg?
About 9.7–11.6 kg of whole fruit, or 6.3–6.7 kg of peeled flesh, depending on cultivar and grade. We confirm it with batch mass balance.
Does it need refrigerated shipping?
No. In sealed barrier packaging it ships in a standard dry container.
Is it ready to eat?
Freeze-drying alone does not kill pathogens. We supply lot microbiology results and, for ready-to-eat use, the hazard analysis for the producing facility.
Can you pack under our brand?
Yes, OEM/ODM from 500 kg per SKU. We fix the product specification first, then the pouch and label.
