HACCP Certified Production
“We operate a HACCP-certified facility, fully compliant with Victorian Food Safety regulations.”
Our Australian Freeze-Dried Diced Cranberries deliver a balanced tartness, vibrant crimson colour, and consistent texture designed specifically for high-volume food production. By removing moisture while preserving the fruit’s natural cellular structure, we provide a premium, free-flowing ingredient that eliminates the "bleeding" and moisture migration common with frozen or juice-infused berries. Perfect for industrial bakeries, cereal manufacturers, and snack brands, these diced pieces offer a clean-label solution with maximum flavour impact.
- 100% Australian Grown Cranberries
- Uniform dice size for even distribution in large batches
- Vibrant natural red colour with no artificial pigments
- Zero added sugars, oils, or preservatives
- Optimized for automated filling lines, granola mixes, protein bars, and biscuit doughs
Why Diced Cranberries are the Superior Choice for Manufacturing?
In commercial food formulation, consistency is the key to scalability. Our freeze-dried diced cranberries offer a distinct operational advantage over whole berries by ensuring homogenous blending throughout your product. Whether you are manufacturing gourmet muesli, nutrition bars, or artisanal chocolate bark, the precise dice size prevents ingredient segregation in the hopper, ensuring every individual pack delivers the exact same tartness and visual appeal. This uniformity supports strict portion control and reduces raw material waste in high-speed production environments.
Our specialized freeze-drying process ensures the cranberry dice maintain their structural integrity, providing a sophisticated "shards of fruit" aesthetic that premium consumers associate with high-quality, healthy brands.
Preserving Tartness and Nutrition with Advanced Lyophilisation
Modern consumers demand transparency and health-focused ingredients. Unlike traditional dried cranberries that are often "osmotic-dried" (soaked in sugar syrup and coated in oil), our diced cranberries are 100% pure fruit. Using advanced lyophilisation (freeze-drying), we lock in the berry's natural antioxidants and sharp, clean flavour profile at the point of harvest. This results in a clean-label ingredient that provides the intense acidity needed to cut through sweet or creamy bases without the "sticky" texture that clogs industrial machinery.
Storage and Logistics: Reducing Your Cold-Chain Dependency
For large-scale manufacturers, the costs associated with frozen fruit storage and refrigerated transport can erode margins. Aussie Rich’s freeze-dried range offers a shelf-stable alternative that requires no refrigeration. Our diced cranberries are lightweight (approx. 1kg of freeze-dried fruit is equivalent to 8kg of fresh fruit), dramatically lowering your carbon footprint and shipping expenses. With a stable shelf life of 18–24 months, you can secure your supply chain against seasonal fluctuations and ensure year-round production reliability.
B2B Comparison: Freeze-Dried Diced vs. Traditional Sugary Slices
| Operational Factor | Freeze-Dried Diced (The B2B Standard) | Standard Dried Cranberry Slices |
|---|---|---|
| Flowability | Excellent: Dry and free-flowing. Does not stick to conveyors or mixing blades. | Poor: Sticky and clumpy due to oil/sugar; requires manual separation in production. |
| Moisture Control | Low Risk: <4% moisture. Stays crunchy in dry cereal and prevents soggy dough. | High Risk: Moisture migrates into the base, compromising final product shelf life. |
| Ingredient Label | Pure: "Cranberries". No hidden additives or added calories. | Complex: Cranberries, Sugar, Sunflower Oil. Not suitable for "No Added Sugar" claims. |
| Colour Stability | Stable: No "bleeding" into yogurt or dough. Maintains clean edges and sharp contrast. | Prone to Leeching: Juices can seep out, discolouring the surrounding product. |
All Aussie Rich freeze-dried products are manufactured in a HACCP-certified facility under the strictest food safety protocols. We ensure full batch traceability, allowing you to meet FSANZ standards and provide your customers with the highest quality Australian ingredients. Produced in Australia, under strict quality systems, for the global food industry.
