Squid Rings IQF

IQF Squid Rings are precision cross-cut from cleaned Loligo squid tubes, processed in TaMainco's BRC Grade A certified facility in Surabaya, East Java. The product is designed for foodservice and retail buyers who require a ready-to-cook squid product with consistent sizing, clean white color, and minimal processing time — a staple ingredient in calamari dishes across Mediterranean, East Asian, and American food service channels.

The production process begins with whole Loligo squid (Loligo chinensis) sourced directly from fishing vessels in the Java Sea and East Java coastal waters. Squid are processed within hours of landing: cleaned (skin-on or skinless options available), mantles separated, and cross-cut on automated slicing machines calibrated to produce either 3–5mm or 5–8mm uniform rings. The rings are then individually quick-frozen in an IQF tunnel at -35°C, achieving -18°C core temperature within 30 minutes and locking in the natural texture and bright white color of fresh squid.

BRC Grade A certification covering our Surabaya processing line gives UK and European retail chain buyers confidence in the product's food safety management system, traceability, and audit standards. Halal MUI certification makes the product export-ready for Middle Eastern foodservice buyers and Muslim-majority market retail chains. FDA Registered facility status (available on request) supports US foodservice supply chain buyers.

OEM and private label service is available for retail consumer packs (500g, 1kg) with minimum 2MT per SKU. Custom packaging design, brand printing, and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) options are available with a typical 4-week lead time for new OEM programs.
