Buyer FAQ
Common questions on canned tomato programs
Which canned tomato formats can we specify for private label?
Choose whole peeled, diced or crushed tomatoes, or pizza sauce. The documented range includes #10/A10 foodservice cans and 400 g retail cans. Net and drained weights, case configuration and label artwork are confirmed for the selected product before order.
What information should we send for a canned tomato quotation?
Share the tomato cut, destination country, intended retail or foodservice channel, preferred can size, estimated volume and private-label requirements. If your specification is still developing, send what you know. Final fill weights, case configuration, documentation and delivery terms are agreed for the program.
Can ALPHATRADE supply canned tomatoes under our brand?
Yes. ALPHATRADE supplies canned tomatoes as the contracting seller. The tomato cut, fill and label artwork are agreed for your brand, with specification, production, documentation and delivery coordinated as one program.
What size is a #10 / A10 can, and are they the same can?
They describe the same foodservice format; exact can dimensions are confirmed for the selected product. US buyers and US foodservice specifications call it the #10 can; A10 is the term used across much of Europe and the Middle East. On this page the #10 / A10 can holds 3000 g net (105.8 oz) with 1750 g (61.7 oz) drained for the cuts, or 2550 g net (89.9 oz) with 1530 g (54.0 oz) drained in the mid-size fill, packed 6 cans per case. Where a US program is quoted the specification is written in the US convention, with net and drained weights stated in grams and ounces so that both sides read the same figure.
What is required for canned tomatoes entering the United States, beyond a food-safety certificate?
Low-acid canned foods and acidified foods under 21 CFR 113 and 114 require the plant and the thermal process to be registered with the FDA, producing an FCE number for the establishment and an SID for the process. This is separate from the food-safety certificate and is not established by it. Applicability is determined for the specific product, formulation, process and packaging, and is confirmed before a canned program is quoted for the United States.
When does FDA food facility registration have to be renewed?
Facilities subject to FDA food facility registration must hold a current registration, and required registrations are renewed between October and December of each even-numbered year. A lapsed registration is a problem at entry, not a paperwork detail. Applicability and exemptions are checked for the selected program, and registration status is confirmed for the producing site before a United States program is agreed.
Who is responsible for FDA requirements when importing canned tomatoes into the United States?
FSVP obligations sit with the designated FSVP importer, where applicable, and producing facilities keep their own applicable FDA obligations. The Foreign Supplier Verification Program is the importer's duty under FSMA, not the supplier's, and the FSVP importer is generally the US owner or consignee at entry, which may be a different company from the customs importer of record. Prior Notice must reach the FDA before arrival, filed by the designated filer. ALPHATRADE supplies the supplier-side evidence the importer's file requires and provides the product, producing-site and shipment data the filer needs.
Questions that apply to every program, on certification, the documents that travel with each lot and United States entry, are answered on Compliance & Quality and US food import compliance.
