Pumpkin product overview

Pumpkin ingredients are used to add body, mild sweetness, and a warm orange color to finished products. Purees are commonly selected for authentic texture and “real vegetable” labeling, while concentrates and powders can support efficient shipping, dry handling, and consistent dosing. Frozen formats help protect seasonal quality for year-round manufacturing.

Packaging & storage guidance

Packaging: Drums and totes are common for concentrates and purees; powders ship in lined cases or bags; frozen programs require frozen-capable packaging and palletization.

Storage: Concentrates may ship ambient, chilled, or frozen depending on item and program. Purees can be ambient (aseptic), chilled, or frozen depending on program. Frozen formats generally require cold chain.

Documentation: COA and supporting quality documents are typically available. If you need USDA Organic, Kosher, allergen statements, or additional testing, mention it in your inquiry.

Traceability: Industrial programs often include lot IDs and origin information; requirements vary by supplier.
