Fovarya sells date syrup by the full container load. This is a wholesale supply relationship for food and beverage manufacturers, ingredient importers, distributors, private-label programmes and foodservice buyers — not a route for retail or small trial quantities.
If a full container of date syrup fits your France production or distribution plan, send your requirement for a tailored quotation. If your volume is smaller, a regional distributor is usually the better fit and we are happy to say so.
A container of 300 kg IBCs is the practical first order into France; flexitank is worth it once a single grade runs at a steady annual rate.
Sirop de dattes en gros — wholesale date syrup for France
Fovarya is a bulk date syrup supplier shipping to French bakery, pâtisserie, dairy and beverage manufacturers, and to the importers and grossistes that serve them. The product — sirop de dattes — is a pourable date sweetener at 72–75° Brix that carries colour and moisture, used where a recipe calls for a natural, fruit-derived sugar with a clean label.
Date syrup in French product development
In viennoiserie and pâtisserie industrielle it adds colour and a soft sweetness to doughs, glazes and fillings. Boulangerie lines use it in pain d’épices, cakes and fruit breads. Dairy and dessert producers use it as a flavour base for date, fig and spiced ranges, and in plant-based desserts where a vegan sweetener is needed. Cereal, barre and muesli manufacturers use it to bind and coat.
Clean label and Nutri-Score context
Date syrup is a sugar and contributes to the sugars line of the nutrition declaration, so it does not by itself improve a Nutri-Score, which is calculated on the finished product. Its value on the label is that one fruit ingredient can replace a blend of refined sweeteners and some additives, which supports a shorter, cleaner ingredient list — often a goal alongside reformulation.
Organic supply for the French market
Certified organic date syrup is available for qualifying lots under Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and can carry the AB mark. The certifier and licence number appear on the organic transaction certificate. Organic availability moves with origin and season, so confirm your volume and window early and we will tell you what can be committed rather than promising a lot that may not exist.
Supplying against a French cahier des charges
French retailers and distributors often buy to a written cahier des charges that fixes composition, analytical limits and certification. Send it with your enquiry: we confirm point by point what can be met, flag anything that cannot, and issue the supporting documents — specification, certificate of analysis, organic transaction certificate — in the format your quality team and your client expect before the container is booked.
Export and logistics to France
Date syrup ships as an ambient food ingredient — no refrigeration in transit. We quote FOB origin, or CFR / CIF / DAP to a French port or your works so you can compare a delivered price against arranging freight yourself into France. Container loading, palletisation and the shipping documents are handled by our team.

Port options only — the routing and transit time for your shipment are confirmed with the quotation.
Importing date syrup into France
Date syrup imported into France is a food and must meet EU rules on hygiene, contaminants and labelling. The déclaration nutritionnelle under Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 gives energy, fat, saturates, carbohydrate, of-which-sugars, protein and salt per 100 g; the label and ingredient list must be in French, where the ingredient reads “sirop de dattes”. The DGCCRF enforces labelling and fair-trading rules. For an organic claim the product is certified under Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and may carry the AB mark; the certifier and licence number are stated on the transaction certificate. Nutri-Score is a voluntary front-of-pack scheme applied to the finished product, not to the ingredient.
General guidance for planning only — confirm current import, duty and labelling requirements with your customs broker and regulatory team.
