Discover the CAL-SAN difference.

CAL-SAN has farming roots and we process and sell what we grow. When customers need different options, we buy local whenever possible, and when fruit must be sourced globally, we only buy from accredited farms.
We are leaders in fruit drying, and use our proprietary MIVAC food dehydration process to transform fresh blueberries, cranberries and other food into innovative products for food manufacturers.
Calsan designs the technology and manufactures the equipment to create this leading edge process.
How It All Started
The Sandhu family has been farming blueberries and cranberries for nearly thirty years. Over time, Dave Sandhu noticed that market demands were shifting. Customers were looking for fresh and frozen berries and dried options for various uses.
Although some producers offered dried blueberries and cranberries, existing processing technologies often failed to deliver consistent, high-quality products. For example, freeze-dried berries were frequently shapeless, colorless, and flavorless.
Cal-San set out to improve these technologies, with the goal to create fruit that retain their original shape, color, flavor, and their natural nutrients. This led to the development of our first innovative product; Blu Puffs™ blueberries that don’t require refrigeration, and have a long shelf life without adding any sugar or preservatives.
Leading-Edge Technology
With our proprietary MiVac™ and Micro-Fusion Technology™, we create unique, all-natural dehydrated food that preserves its color, shape, flavor, and nutrients. This technology combines vacuum pressure and radiant energy to perform a low-temperature dehydration process. As a result, our products have exceptional shelf stability, making them perfect for use in a wide range of health and food products.
Quality Control
At CAL-SAN, we are dedicated to consistently producing exceptional quality dehydrated food. We are SQF certified, CFIA inspected, and we ensure excellence through rigorous growing standards, advanced selection and grading techniques, and comprehensive internal quality programs. By managing the quality of the food at every step, we guarantee safe and healthy products for our clients. We are Non-GMO and Kosher certified.
