What is

IQF

Since each piece is individually frozen at the peak of its freshness, we at OPA! maintain the integrity of our produce, without losing any nutritional value, minerals or vitamins. This way the fruits and vegetables are easy to use and not stuck together as one solid block.

The company commenced operations in 2014 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fauji Fertilizer Company (FFC), one of the largest business conglomerates of Pakistan. Our portfolio includes frozen French fries as well as a wide variety of frozen fruits and vegetables that are available in both retail, and food service sectors. Quality control and hygiene management are a top priority at Fresh n Freeze and we make sure to uphold the highest food safety standards in the industry.
