Chicken Livers: export from Canada to Southeast Asia

Liver is the most handling-sensitive poultry line in the category. It degrades faster than muscle meat and it shows every failure in the cold chain, so the commercial conversation is about process discipline as much as about price.

Buyers specify on colour and on texture, and both are downstream of how quickly the product moved from the line to the blast freezer and how stable it stayed afterwards. A pale or blotchy liver is not a grading opinion, it is a record of what happened to it.

Decide whether the product is sold loose frozen, block frozen or IQF, because liver handled as a block is difficult to portion without damage. Decide too whether it ships as a single-species line or in a mixed offal pack with hearts and gizzards, which some markets prefer and which changes the labelling at the destination.

Freight is worth planning rather than assuming. This is a line where a temperature excursion in transit is expensive and hard to argue about afterwards.

Offal eligibility is often approved separately from whole-bird eligibility, so confirm it for this line specifically.
