Frequently Asked Questions

What processed meat systems does FISA Lab manufacture?

FISA Lab manufactures Chorizo, Longaniza, and specialty sausage systems for industrial meat processors. Each system is formulated to the buyer's specific mixing parameters, casing type, and cook process. All formulations ship clean label with no artificial colors and no MSG.

Can FISA Lab match an existing processed meat formulation?

FISA Lab replicates an existing formulation from a submitted sample, ingredient statement, or written brief. The R&D team develops a clean label equivalent that preserves the target sensory profile and adapts to the buyer's production line without process changes.

What is the minimum order quantity for FISA Lab processed meat systems?

FISA Lab processed meat and signature meat systems start at 309 lbs (140 kg) per SKU in 44 lb (20 kg) bags. Snack seasoning systems start at 551 lbs (250 kg) per SKU. Full pallets are available for larger production runs and are not a required minimum. Reorders of approved formulations ship on the lead time agreed in the purchase order. New formulations move to production on a schedule confirmed with your order.

Why does seasoning clump in the mixer?

Most clumping comes from moisture pickup and particle size. Fine hygroscopic ingredients cake when humidity rises in storage or at the hopper. Caked seasoning doses unevenly and disperses poorly in the meat block. Tell a formulator how you store and dose the blend. Flow and dispersion then go into your spec.

Where do meat processors apply the system?

Meat processors apply the system at their own FSIS-inspected establishment. FISA seasoning systems are FDA-regulated food ingredients. You add the system at the step your process sheet already calls for, such as the mixer or the tumbler. Your HACCP plan and your process stay yours. The system is made to your approved spec.

Do you supply co-packers running several brands?

Yes. Co-packing under several brands and private label manufacturing are core applications. Each brand gets its own approved spec. The spec is locked and every batch runs to it. A private label client owns its formula. Every batch ships with a COA, so each brand owner keeps its own paper trail.

What documents come with each batch?

Every batch ships with a certificate of analysis (COA). A spec sheet, an allergen statement and similar documents are available on request. The rule on duty is USMCA 0% tariff on qualifying blends. When a blend qualifies, a certificate of origin goes with it for your customs broker.

Do you charge for samples?

No. Samples are at no charge and sized for bench testing. Send your current formulation, a sample or a written brief with your mixing parameters and cook process. Use the sample request form. A formulator reviews the brief with you before anything ships. You validate the system on your own bench.
