Freeze Dried Yogurt Cubes Supplier & Exporters serving Zurich

Importation of processed composite products containing dairy into Switzerland is governed by the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO/BLV) in alignment with Bilateral Veterinary Agreements with the EU. Because our facilities maintain full BRCGS and ISO 22000 compliance, our export department prepares comprehensive documentation—including validated Veterinary Health Certificates, Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirming zero presence of pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes), and non-GMO affirmations. We routinely supply all necessary documentation to ensure clearance via Zurich Airport cargo terminals or Basel transshipment hubs.

Thermal stability is protected through a two-phase deep freezing protocol. Fresh cultured milk undergoes blast freezing at -40°C in an ultra-clean environment, creating microcrystalline ice structures that prevent membrane puncture in live cells. Primary sublimation occurs under deep vacuum (<0.08 mbar) while secondary desorptive drying does not exceed 38°C. This keeps the cellular integrity of the lactic acid bacteria unharmed. Third-party laboratory assays reliably demonstrate residual bacterial viability exceeding ≥10⁶ CFU per gram throughout the standard 18-month sealed shelf-life.

We provide full customization flexibility. Standard geometric specifications include 8x8x8mm cubes, 10x10x10mm cubes, 12x12x12mm cubes, irregular granulated crumbles (2-5mm for cereal topping), and superfine powders. We compound plain whole milk yogurt with 100% natural fruit inclusions—such as blueberry, strawberry, peach, passion fruit, and mango. Tailored functional additions including collagen peptides, organic prebiotic inulin, and acerola-derived vitamin C can also be formulated directly into the raw batch before freeze-drying.

For standard bulk packing (double food-grade polyethylene liners protected inside sealed multi-layer vacuum foil cartons, 5kg to 10kg net weight), the baseline entry MOQ starts at 300 kg to 500 kg. For fully customized private-label retail pouching (stand-up zip doy-packs or nitrogen-flushed cans), the initial MOQ ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 units per artwork variation. Standard mass production requires 20–25 days from sample verification, with ocean-rail transshipment to Zurich taking approximately 28–35 days, or direct expedited airfreight arriving in 5–7 business days.

Due to its high porosity and low water activity (aw < 0.20), freeze-dried yogurt is naturally hygroscopic. When exposed to ambient room humidity in Zurich, it will absorb moisture, leading to a loss of crunch. Therefore, our packaging engineering team uses high-barrier metallized composite structures (PET/AL/PE or high-barrier EVOH clear substrates) alongside food-grade desiccant packets or automated nitrogen gas purging (≤2.0% residual oxygen). This ensures our products maintain full sensory and textural performance across an 18 to 24 month shelf-life.
