What It Is

Coloma Frozen Foods is a supplier of frozen fruits, vegetables, and juice concentrates based in southwest Michigan, USA. Its origins trace back to a cooperative canning operation founded in 1925. Its in-house retail brand is Nature Blessed. The website sells tart cherry juice concentrate to individual consumers, while also offering bulk concentrates, frozen fruits and vegetables, repacking, blending, distribution, and private label services for breweries, wineries, foodservice providers, and industrial customers.

Core Capabilities

From an e-commerce perspective, this is not a multi-seller marketplace but the official website of a vertical food supplier. Its core categories include frozen fruit, vegetables, juices, and around 30 types of juice concentrates, covering apple, cherry, grape, lemon, mango, pomegranate, and more. Packaging options are fairly extensive, ranging from pints and quarts to 1.5-gallon, 3/4-gallon containers, and 52-gallon drums, making it suitable for retail, foodservice, and industrial reprocessing. Its strengths also include 20 million pounds of cold storage capacity, a repacking and distribution center, and the ability to handle private label needs.

Pricing and Transactions

The website lists prices for some retail and industrial products. Tart cherry juice concentrate is priced at $32 for 1 pint and $38.99 for 1 quart, with tiered discounts for multi-packs and free shipping indicated. Industrial concentrates are shown with “Starting at” base prices, with significant price differences across flavors. The text mentions that discount codes can be used at checkout to receive 10% off certain concentrates. However, payment methods, international shipping fees, return details, and minimum order quantities are not clearly stated in the main text.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its vertical supply chain and specialized product range. It has access to fruit-growing regions in the United States, and also imports when necessary while conducting quality and food safety testing. Its packaging and fulfillment capabilities are well suited to B2B food customers. The drawbacks are limited cross-border information, and frozen and liquid products have high requirements for logistics, storage, and compliance. The website leans more toward a traditional supplier e-commerce model, with limited disclosure regarding support for Chinese sellers, localization, and international delivery.

Who It’s Suitable For and Access from China

It is better suited to food and beverage brands, craft breweries, wineries, restaurant and catering distributors, industrial food manufacturers, and businesses that need private label repacking. It is not suitable for ordinary cross-border resellers. Access from China is not mentioned in the main text, so its status is unknown.
