North American food manufacturers sourcing date ingredients wholesale face a common challenge: finding a supplier who can deliver consistent ingredient quality, clean-label certification, and the technical documentation that a modern food production environment demands — not just a bulk commodity with a generic spec sheet.
Kartago Dates Wholesale supplies four core date-derived ingredients in bulk — date paste, date syrup, date sugar, and date powder — to food manufacturers, ingredient distributors, and private label brands across the United States and Canada. All products are derived from premium Tunisian dates grown in the Saharan oases of southern Tunisia, processed under controlled conditions, and shipped with full COA, USDA Organic, and Halal certification where applicable.
Direct from the Saharan oases of Tunisia to your production facility — traceable, certified, and formulated for industrial use. Our ingredient range is built for food manufacturers who need natural, clean-label sweeteners and functional ingredients that perform consistently at scale.

A smooth, homogeneous puree made from pitted whole dates — the core binding and sweetening ingredient behind the North American clean-label bar category. Formulated for consistent Brix and texture across lots.
Concentrated liquid extract with higher Brix — a direct functional alternative to honey and maple syrup in premium beverages, salad dressings, marinades, and specialty barbecue sauces.
Dehydrated whole dates ground to a granular sugar-like consistency. The whole fruit is used — fiber, minerals, and natural sugars intact. Substitutes directly for refined cane sugar by weight in dry baking applications.
Fine spray-dried or drum-dried powder — compatible with dry blending processes, a natural sweetener and carbohydrate source for protein powders, superfood blends, and supplement products.
All Kartago date ingredients begin with premium Tunisian dates from our oasis network in Tozeur, Kebili, and Gafsa — processed under controlled conditions with no additives or preservatives.
Deglet Noor & Sayer varieties from Saharan farms — firm flesh, neutral flavor, ideal raw material for paste, syrup, sugar & powder.
Dates are washed, pitted, and steam-treated if required — under HACCP-controlled conditions. No chemical additives.
Mechanical pureeing (paste), water extraction & concentration (syrup), or drying & grinding (sugar / powder) to target specs.
Food-grade containers, labeled with lot number and production date, shipped with COA, phytosanitary, halal & organic certificates.
Date ingredients occupy a favorable regulatory position in North American food labeling. Our documentation package is aligned with FDA, USDA, and CFIA requirements from day one.
Date paste, syrup, sugar, and powder can all be declared as single-ingredient items — "dates," "date syrup," "date sugar," or "dehydrated dates" — satisfying clean-label consumer expectations and FDA ingredient declaration requirements under 21 CFR Part 101.
Our organic-certified ingredient lines are produced under USDA National Organic Program standards, with full chain-of-custody documentation from raw date sourcing through processing and packing.
Date-based ingredients are derived from whole fruit and classified differently from refined added sugars in some labeling contexts. The clean-label positioning is well-established in the North American market.
Our ingredient products come with the full supplier documentation package required for FDA FSMA Foreign Supplier Verification Program compliance — ready for importer audits.
Most date ingredient suppliers are processors who buy raw dates at market and manufacture to volume. Kartago is different — we own the raw material supply chain from oasis farm to processing facility.
We specify the variety, grade, and harvest lot used as raw material for every ingredient production run. When your next paste shipment needs to match the previous lot, we control the input.
Our ingredients carry farm-to-container traceability — not just a processing facility address on the COA. A meaningful differentiator for manufacturers facing supply chain transparency questions.
No intermediary trader between the oasis and the processing facility. Our ingredient pricing reflects direct-origin economics — not a multi-tier import chain markup.
Need premium-Brix paste or syrup from Sukari dates? We can accommodate at a price premium with minimum volumes — because we control the raw material selection.
Source both pitted dates and date paste from the same supplier relationship. Eight varieties plus four ingredients — one account manager, one documentation set.
Our team answers technical questions on Brix variation, FSMA compliance, organic chain-of-custody, and halal certification compatibility — because dates are all we do.
