Food Safety & Quality Control
Our shellfish processing site operates in accordance with HACCP, BRC, ISO 22000, and HALAL quality management protocols. Exports comply with US FDA National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) criteria and European Union Directive standards for live and processed bivalve mollusks.
Quality control protocol at key manufacturing stages:
Raw Material & Water Screening: Live blood clams are harvested from monitored aquaculture zones. Feeding waters and raw harvest batches undergo routine testing for Marine Biotoxins (PSP, DSP, ASP) and heavy metals (Cadmium, Lead, Arsenic).
Automated Depuration (De-Sanding): Live clams pass through a 24- to 48-hour continuous-flow oxygenated seawater depuration system to eliminate mud, sand, and metabolic waste prior to thermal processing or freezing.
Thermal Blanching Control: Steam blanching temperatures are calibrated between 85 deg C and 92 deg C for precise durations to detach shells without denaturing muscle proteins or causing drip loss.
Pathogen Screening: Finished frozen batches undergo microbiological testing for Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella, and E. coli prior to certificate of analysis (COA) release.

FAQ
Q: What is the scientific name and trade classification of Blood Clam?
A: The scientific name is Tegillarca granosa (synonym Anadara granosa). It is commercially known as Blood Clam, Blood Cockle, or Red Clam due to the hemoglobin-rich red fluid present inside its soft tissue.
Q: How do you ensure the blood clams are free of sand grit?
A: Harvested clams undergo a 24- to 48-hour depuration process in circulating, oxygenated seawater tanks. This natural purging cycle forces the clams to expel mud and sand grit from their mantle cavity, reducing final sand residue to below 0.05 percent by weight.
Q: What count sizes are available for commercial wholesale?
A: Standard size grades are 60-80 pcs/kg, 80-100 pcs/kg, 100-120 pcs/kg, and 120-150 pcs/kg for Whole Shell-on clams. Meat count grades are sorted by pieces per 500g based on processing yield.
Q: Are your frozen blood clams cooked or raw?
A: We supply both formats. Raw IQF Whole Shell-on clams preserve natural liquor for traditional cooking methods. Flash-blanched whole clams, half-shell clams, and shucked meat are heated sufficiently to sterilize the surface and set the meat structure while maintaining color and bite.
Q: What heavy metal and marine toxin testing is performed before export?
A: Every production lot is tested for heavy metals (Cadmium under 1.5 mg/kg, Lead under 1.5 mg/kg) and Marine Biotoxins, including Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) and Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP). Official GACC health certificates accompany every shipment.
Q: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and container payload?
A: The standard MOQ is 1 x 20ft reefer container (approx. 10 to 12 Metric Tons for meat / 22 to 24 Metric Tons for whole shell-on) or 1 x 40ft reefer container (approx. 25 to 27 Metric Tons). Mixed orders combining blood clams with other frozen shellfish are accepted upon request.
