Frequently Asked Questions AboutIQF Frozen Vegetables from Egypt
What does IQF mean?
IQF stands for Individually Quick Frozen. It is a freezing method in which each individual piece of produce — a strawberry, a green bean, a chunk of mango — is frozen separately at temperatures as low as -35°C, typically within 4 hours of harvest.
Unlike block freezing (where produce is frozen in a solid mass), IQF keeps each piece separate, preserving its natural shape, texture, colour, and nutritional profile. IQF products do not clump together, making them ideal for portion-controlled food service and retail use.
Is IQF frozen food as nutritious as fresh?
Yes — in many cases, IQF frozen produce retains more nutrients than 'fresh' produce that has been in transit for several days. Because IQF freezing happens within hours of harvest, vitamins and minerals are locked in at peak levels.
Studies by the University of Chester (2017) found that frozen produce had equal or higher nutrient content than fresh equivalents in the majority of tested categories. Il Mondo's blast-freezing process at -35°C within 4 hours of harvest ensures maximum nutritional retention.
What certifications does Il Mondo's IQF facility hold?
Il Mondo's IQF processing facilities are certified to BRC Global Standards Grade AA — the highest level of the British Retail Consortium food safety standard, widely required by European retailers and food service chains.
Additional certifications include ISO 9001:2015 for quality management systems and GlobalG.A.P for farm-level traceability of raw material inputs.
What is the minimum order for IQF frozen vegetables from Egypt?
The standard minimum order for Il Mondo IQF products is 1 × 20ft or 40ft reefer container, depending on the product and packaging format.
For mixed-product container orders (combining multiple IQF products in one container), please contact our team to discuss feasibility based on product compatibility and minimum batch quantities.
Can you produce custom IQF vegetable blends?
Yes. Il Mondo produces custom IQF blends for food service operators and retail buyers. Common examples include mixed vegetable blends (green beans, okra, peas, carrots) and tropical fruit mixes (mango, strawberry, pineapple).
Custom blends are available with a minimum volume commitment. Contact our export team with your blend specification and target volume.
How long is the shelf life of Il Mondo IQF products?
All Il Mondo IQF products have a shelf life of 24 months from the date of production when stored at -18°C or below.
Products must be kept frozen throughout the supply chain. Once defrosted, they should not be refrozen and must be used within 24 hours.
