Raisins, sultanas, apricots, dates and figs are reviewed by crop, variety, treatment, moisture, size or grade and current lot availability.
Dried Fruit & Nuts
A3 reviews commercial requirements across raisins and sultanas, dried apricots, dates, dried figs, in-shell pistachios, pistachio kernels and walnuts, aligning crop, variety, treatment, grade, food-safety controls, packing and shipment route.
Dried-fruit, nut and ingredient routes
Programmes differ by crop, variety, product form, treatment, grade, processing capability and pack route. A3 reviews these variables together before confirming availability and logistics.
In-shell and kernel nut routes
Pistachios and walnuts are separated by in-shell or kernel form, size, shell opening or kernel fraction, colour, treatment and lot condition.
Ingredient formats and packing
Diced fruit, pastes, syrups, powders, kernel pieces and retail or industrial formats are confirmed by processor capability, allergen controls, packing and production availability.
How dried fruits and nuts are specified
The product name is only the starting point. Crop, variety, form, treatment, grade, food-safety controls and storage route must be defined together.
Product identity, crop and format
Variety or commercial type, crop year and form are tied to the proposed lot. Whole, diced or paste, in-shell or kernel and raw or roasted products are not treated as interchangeable.
Grade, size and treatment
Size or count, colour, moisture, texture, shell opening, kernel fraction and defects are selected by product. Natural, sulphured, oiled or roasted treatment is stated where relevant to the offered lot.
Food safety and destination controls
Aflatoxin, ochratoxin A, pesticide residues, microbiology, infestation, foreign material, sulphites and tree-nut allergen requirements are confirmed for the product and destination. Limits are not assumed to be identical across categories or markets.
Pack, shelf life and storage route
Cartons, food-grade liners, sacks, vacuum or protective-atmosphere formats are used only where they suit the product and producer capability. Moisture, oxygen, odour, pest and storage controls and remaining shelf life are confirmed for the proposed route.
From approved lot to packed shipment
A3 matches the product identity, crop, variety, form, treatment and grade with the proposed lot or processing batch.
A representative sample, supplier specification, recent COA and any required test or inspection records are connected to the relevant lot and sampling reference where that review is included.
Volume, packing, remaining shelf life, storage route, Incoterm, destination, labels, agreed document set and shipment window are confirmed in the commercial offer.
