Product Testing

1. Sampling inspection of fat content in winter: Conduct a random inspection of the fat content and oil distribution of the Winter Frozen Pacific Saury Whole Round fish to ensure that the fish meat is evenly filled with oil and avoid the inclusion of lean fish or fish with empty stomachs, thereby guaranteeing a full and flavorful texture and a non-grainy taste after frying, grilling, or roasting.

3. Low-temperature preservation and durability test: Simulate long-term constant-temperature storage and ocean shipping environments, continuously monitor the fish meat condition, effectively verify the freshness retention ability of winter-caught fish, and prevent problems such as oil oxidation and off-flavors caused by long-term storage and transportation.

4. Precision of specification classification test: Weigh and verify each batch strictly according to five grades to avoid mixed sizes and incorrect grades. Each box has high purity of specifications, suitable for standardized selling in supermarkets and factory assembly line processing.

5. Practical testing of cooking adaptability: Conduct practical tests for barbecue, pan-frying, smoking, and canning processes. Winter fish meat can withstand high-temperature cooking without disintegrating easily, and the finished product has stable appearance, suitable for various commercial processes.

6. Moisture-proof and anti-damage sealing storage test: Conduct a pressure test on the finished product cartons to ensure compatibility with container stacking for shipping, preventing moisture damage and box collapse, and eliminating the risk of moisture contamination and box collapse during transportation.

7. Food safety compliance inspection: Conduct batch testing of microorganisms and pollutant indicators, ensuring full compliance with international food entry standards, with batch quality and safety being controllable, and suitable for customs clearance requirements in multiple regions worldwide.
