- Brine, water, soybean oil, sunflower oil, olive oil or rice bran oil where available
- Retail and food-service formats
- OEM labels and cartons, subject to minimum production quantities
Key parameters to specify
Canned seafood is bought on the specification of a particular factory SKU rather than on a generic product name. The cut, the packing medium, the can format and the label all have to be settled together, because each one narrows which producers can actually run the order.
- Species and cut
- Drained and net weight
- Packing medium
- Can size and cans per carton
- Destination labelling
- Halal and food-safety requirements
- Monthly volume and destination port
Halal certification
Canned tuna can be supplied with Halal certification issued by the Central Islamic Committee of Thailand, where the producing cannery holds a valid certificate for the product. For canned seafood the certificate covers the packing media and the processing line as well as the fish, so confirm it against the exact pack — oil, brine or sauce — rather than against the species alone. Certification is held by the cannery, not by SPG, and applies to that facility and product. Tell us if Halal documentation is required and we will confirm availability before an offer is made.
Quality and export documentation
Product specifications, production-lot certificates of analysis, food-safety certificates, Halal documentation where applicable, origin documents, the commercial invoice and the packing list can be reviewed or coordinated, subject to the supplier, the shipment and the importing market. Certification is held by the producing facility, not by SPG.
