Fruit ingredient manufacturer · Hebei, China
Real fruit,
made to your specification
Podo is the fruit ingredient brand of Bio Food. We source from our own orchard partners, freeze and pulp the fruit in our own plant, and fill it aseptically or frozen — so fruit content, Brix, texture and piece size are variables we set for your product, not a catalogue you have to fit.
One plant, one cold chain, one accountable supplier.

What we work on
Three problems that stall a fruit ingredient project
Most trials fail for the same reasons. Naming them early shortens the path to a product that runs.
01
THE FRUIT CHANGES, THE PRODUCT MUST NOT
Colour, Brix and texture drift from season to season and lot to lot. A yogurt line notices in the cup; a bakery notices in the oven.
Origin-tagged frozen stock, Brix and pH set per application, colour and particle size recorded per lot.
02
THE LAB SAMPLE WILL NOT RUN ON THE LINE
Pieces break in the pump, ripples freeze hard, fillings boil out, purees settle in the tank. The recipe was right for a bench, not for a plant.
Recipes built around your dosing, cooking or freezing step, then checked on your line before the first order.
03
SEASONAL FRUIT, YEAR-ROUND DEMAND
Harvest lasts weeks; your production runs all year. Cold-chain cost, lead time and a second source all sit on one decision.
Own cold store from −45 °C blast freezing to ambient aseptic packs, so supply does not stop when the season does.
Five applications
Solutions, not a catalogue
Recipes are organised by where they are used and what has to hold true in that product — so the first trial starts in the right place.
Yogurt & Dairy
Stirred, layered and drinking yogurt, dairy desserts, plant-based alternatives.
Real pieces. Stable colour.
Ice Cream & Gelato
Ripples, cores, inclusions and sorbet bases.
Ripples that flow. Pieces that stay tender.
Bakery Fillings
Danish, croissant, pies, cakes, doughnuts and frozen bakery.
In the pastry. Not on the tray.
Drinks & Smoothies
Fruit teas, smoothies, milkshakes, juice blends and dessert drinks.
Clean fruit. No sediment.
Hotel Breakfast & Foodservice
Breakfast buffets, central kitchens, airlines and catering.
Same jar. Every guest.

What a project delivers
Four things you can measure
Every one of them is a number on a specification or a line on a certificate of analysis — not an adjective.
