Freeze-Dried Fruit & Yogurt,
Made in British Columbia
Origo Foods is a family-owned Canadian manufacturer of freeze-dried fruit and freeze-dried yogurt snacks. We work with retailers, distributors, foodservice and ingredient buyers who care where their food comes from — and who expect the paperwork to back it up.

The two lines, described accurately
Freeze-dried fruit
One ingredient per pouch — the fruit named on the package. Strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, apple and haskap.
- No added sugar, no preservatives, no artificial colours or flavours
- Grown in Canada; berries from named British Columbia farms, apples from the Okanagan
- Product of Canada
Freeze-dried yogurt — Froyo
A cultured yogurt base blended with real freeze-dried fruit powder, then freeze-dried. Strawberry, blueberry and raspberry.
- Made with organic and grass-fed ingredients
- Live bacterial cultures
- The yogurt base contains organic cane sugar — so this line does not carry a “no added sugar” claim
Allergen: Contains Milk.
How we test, and who tests it
We use independent, accredited third-party laboratories. We do not self-certify our results.
| Testing | Laboratory |
|---|---|
| Pesticide residue & heavy metals, assessed against Health Canada / PMRA Maximum Residue Limits | Intertek Testing Services Canada Ltd. |
| Microbiological analysis, water activity, moisture, sensory evaluation | Intertek Testing Services Canada Ltd. |
| Accelerated shelf-life studies | Intertek Testing Services Canada Ltd. |
| Nutritional composition and live-culture assays | Element Materials Technology |
| Microbiological specification testing | IG MicroMed Environmental Inc. |
What we do and don’t say about these results. Our fruit has been tested for pesticide residues and heavy metals and found compliant with Canadian Maximum Residue Limits. We do not describe our fruit as “pesticide-free” — residue testing measures against legal limits, it does not establish absence. Live-culture counts are reported only for the flavour and batch actually tested, at the time of testing, and are not end-of-shelf-life counts. Shelf life is stated per product according to the study supporting it.
Traceability
Our berries come from named British Columbia farms and our apples from the Okanagan Valley. We hold supplier records for the fruit we buy, and we can trace finished product back to the raw material for qualified partners under a confidentiality agreement.
This is the part of our business we are least willing to compromise on, and the part we are most willing to show you.
Documentation: what we share, and when
We share documentation in stages. This is not to make life difficult — it is because some of these files carry laboratory reproduction restrictions, and some contain information our suppliers have entrusted to us. We treat their confidentiality the way we would want ours treated.
| Level | What it includes | What we need from you |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Open | This page: laboratories, testing scope, standards, origin, allergen and claim information | Nothing — it is public |
| 2. Product files | Origo product specification sheets: composition, nutrition, format, shelf life, origin | Company name, contact and role, market and channel |
| 3. Full evidence | Complete third-party Certificates of Analysis, shelf-life studies, supporting laboratory reports | The above, plus a short mutual confidentiality agreement |
| 4. Commercial | Formulation detail, ingredient sourcing specifics, costed pricing | An active commercial relationship and signed agreement |
Laboratory reports remain the property of the issuing laboratory and several carry restrictions on reproduction. We release them intact and in confidence rather than posting them publicly.
Request our trade pack
Email us and tell us four things. Most of our partners find this takes two minutes, and it lets us send you the right documents rather than a generic bundle.
- Your company, website and your role
- The market and channel you are working in
- Which products and formats interest you
- What this documentation needs to support — a regulatory submission, a retailer listing, an internal review
We reply to serious enquiries quickly, and we are happy to walk through the full pack on a call. We do not publish pricing; written quotations follow a conversation about volumes, format and terms.
Or write to stone@origofoods.com.
How we label, and the rules we follow
- “No added sugar” (fruit line only) — criteria set out in the Food and Drug Regulations, B.01.509(1) and B.01.509(2), FDR; applied to advertising under section 273, SFCR. CFIA guidance
- “Product of Canada” (fruit line) — CFIA origin-claim guidelines promoting compliance with subsection 5(1), Food and Drugs Act and subsection 6(1), Safe Food for Canadians Act; all or virtually all (98%+) ingredients, processing and labour Canadian. CFIA guidance
- Organic wording (yogurt line) — governed by Part 13, Division 4, SFCR. We describe organic and grass-fed ingredients; we do not present Froyo as a certified organic product, since under SFCR 353(2)(a) and 359(1)(b) only products with 95%+ organic content certified under the Canada Organic Regime may be labelled or advertised as organic. CFIA guidance
- Allergens — milk is a priority allergen and is declared for our yogurt line. Priority allergens must be declared in the ingredient list or in a “Contains” statement. CFIA guidance
- Live cultures — we state measured counts from third-party testing and make no health claim. CFIA guidance
From Canadian soil. Through local hands.
Into the moments we share.
