3 Reasons to Choose IQF Meals for Airlines

At Culinary Specialties, we use the individual quick freezing (IQF) method to benefit our clients and your guests. What are some benefits of using IQF meals when in the air? Here are a few reasons to source your food from a manufacturer that uses this process.

  • Easy to heat and serve – The individual quick freezing process makes it easier to heat each meal to the proper temperature. As a result, you end up with fewer unhappy passengers sending back food to be heated further or who end up getting burned by their meal being too hot.
  • Delicious looking and tasting food – Quick freezing locks in flavor and even the color of food. So your passengers will have a visually appealing meal to look at that will taste fresh rather than frozen. Plus, we source our food locally, so it is always fresh when prepared by hand before the freezing process.
  • Safe meals – No one wants to get sick after eating a meal, especially during a flight. Our prep area follows the guidelines of the FDA, the USDA, and a number of other governing organizations. Then we ship the frozen meals at a constant temperature to ensure they are still safe when they reach your facility.
