About

In the company's own words. We have not verified these claims.

The success of FRDP is also based on the control of the freezing process. This technical process, which consists of cooling food quickly at a very low temperature, stops the development of micro-organisms while preserving the nutritional and taste quality of the products. With this method, the fruits and vegetables we offer maintain their freshness and natural properties for long periods of time, without losing quality. Our growing programs, signed with organic producers, guarantee that our fruits and vegetables meet organic farming standards, while being carefully cultivated without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. From harvesting to freezing, each step is carefully controlled to offer consumers

Rules that apply to these goods

Regulations that commonly apply to shipments in this sector. Not legal advice: verify against the linked official source.

  • EU imports of food of animal origin and many other food categories must be pre-notified in TRACES and enter through border control posts. European Commission (TRACES)

Protect Your Money Before You Pay+

Safe Bets (You can get a refund)

  • Credit cards
  • PayPal (specifically "Goods and Services")
  • Escrow services (where your money is held safely until the goods actually arrive)
  • Letter of Credit (best for large, bulk orders)

Red Flags (Your money is gone for good)

  • Wire transfers to personal bank accounts
  • Crypto
  • Western Union or MoneyGram
  • Gift cards

The ultimate warning sign: If a supplier refuses cards or escrow and only pushes for non-reversible payment methods, walk away immediately. This is the number one sign of a scam. Either insist on escrow or drop the deal.

Double-check the names: The name on the bank account must perfectly match the officially registered company name. If it doesn't, stop right there.

First-time orders: Always use an independent escrow service for your first order. This ensures the supplier only gets paid after you have the goods in hand.
