Frozen Squid Raw Material Manufacturer & Wholesale Supplier
Changshion Foods sources, processes, and exports frozen ocean-caught squid raw material for seafood re-processors, canning facilities, and regional wholesale importers. We supply wild-caught squid species including Todarodes pacificus, Illex argentinus, and Dosidicus gigas harvested from FAO Zones 61, 41, and 87.
Product formats include whole round sea-frozen blocks, land-frozen whole squid, semi-processed tubes, and tentacles. Size grading, freezing methods, and packaging specifications are tailored to contract requirements.
Food Safety & Quality Control
Our raw material processing facility operates under HACCP, BRC, ISO 22000, and HALAL certificates. Exports comply with US FDA standards and EU Directive regulations for heavy metal limits in cephalopods.
Manufacturing quality controls include:
Heavy Metal Testing: Every raw material batch is sampled and tested for cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) content to meet EU import thresholds (Cadmium below 1.0 mg/kg).
Freshness Inspection: Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVB-N) levels are kept below 25 mg/100g at receiving to prevent texture degradation during re-processing.
Yield & Drip Loss Measurement: Laboratory technicians measure post-thaw drip loss and meat elasticity before processing to verify thermal freezing stability.
Temperature Monitoring: Core raw material temperature is controlled at or below -18 deg C during offloading, sorting, packing, and container loading.

FAQ
Q: What is the primary difference between Jigged and Trawled squid raw material?
A: Jigged squid is caught individually using hooks, resulting in minimal skin damage, low bruising, and higher meat recovery for premium tube processing. Trawled squid is caught in nets in volume, which may show minor skin abrasion but offers a cost advantage for bulk canning or ground applications.
Q: What is the cadmium level in your Dosidicus gigas and Illex squid?
A: We screen raw material batches prior to processing to ensure heavy metal compliance. Cadmium levels for EU-bound shipments are certified below 1.0 mg/kg, verified by official GACC export testing laboratories or third-party inspectors.
Q: How is squid raw material graded for industrial slicing?
A: Squid is graded either by weight (e.g., 100-200g, 200-300g, 300-500g) or by mantle length in centimeters (e.g., 15-20cm, 20-25cm). Automatic grading machinery maintains tight sizing to reduce trim loss on slicing production lines.
Q: Can you supply sea-frozen squid raw material frozen directly on board?
A: Yes. We supply sea-frozen whole round squid blocks frozen on harvesting vessels immediately after catch, preserving natural skin pigment, firm muscle structure, and low TVB-N freshness levels.
Q: What export documentation is provided for EU IUU fishing regulations?
A: For all European Union shipments, we provide the official Catch Certificate issued by the flag state authority verifying that the raw material was legally harvested in accordance with IUU (Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated) fishing prevention standards.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity and container weight capacity for squid raw material?
A: The standard MOQ is 1 x 20ft reefer container (approx. 10 to 12 Metric Tons) or 1 x 40ft reefer container (approx. 26 to 28 Metric Tons). Multiple sizes or species can be combined within a single container upon request.
As one of the most professional squid raw material manufacturers and suppliers in China, we have world-leading production equipment and strong manufacturing capabilities. Please rest assured to wholesale high quality squid raw material at competitive price from our factory.
