Glaze %
Category: Food Trade
Definition (plain English)
The percentage of protective ice coating on frozen seafood or other frozen products compared with the product weight.
Why it matters commercially
Glaze percentage changes usable product cost, declared net weight, customer acceptance, and whether a frozen-food quote is commercially comparable.
Example
An importer recalculated shrimp cost after discovering one supplier quoted 20% glaze while the retailer expected 10% maximum glaze on receipt.
Common mistake
Comparing frozen product prices by carton weight without separating net product, glaze percentage, packing medium, and customer tolerance.
