Q&A
Frequently asked questions
01 What is the difference between crystal boba pearls and popping pearls?
Crystal boba pearls are a solid chewy konjac pearl packed ready-to-use in syrup, used as a tapioca-pearl alternative. Popping pearls have a thin gel shell around a liquid or fruit-flavoured centre that bursts in the mouth. Both are supplied in bulk pouches for bubble-tea and beverage use.
02 Can you develop a custom flavour for konjac strips or candy?
Yes. Flavour, seasoning and sweetener system are developed per formula with the producing factory based on a target profile the buyer provides. Development timelines add to the standard lead time and are confirmed on the proforma invoice.
03 What is the MOQ for a private-label konjac snack SKU?
MOQ depends on the format, pack size and the producing factory's minimum run per SKU; private-label runs with custom artwork carry a higher minimum than standard retail formats. Exact MOQ is confirmed on the proforma invoice.
04 Do you handle label compliance for our market?
We provide the specification sheet and Certificate of Analysis for each lot, but label compliance for the destination market, including ingredient declarations and permitted claims, is the buyer's responsibility.
05 Are konjac jelly mini-cups available for export?
Konjac gel (E425) is not permitted in jelly mini-cup formats in the EU due to choking-hazard regulation, so pouch, drinkable and other non-cup formats are used for export. See the konjac jelly page for jelly-specific formats.
