Bulk Edible Oil Buyer’s Guide

Q: What bulk edible oils does Hudson Oils supply?

Hudson Oils supplies bulk frying oils by the full truckload: vegetable (palm) frying oil, soybean frying oil, and canola frying oil in clear and creamy formats. Buyers include food manufacturers, foodservice distributors, restaurant commissaries, and private-label brands across the USA.

Q: How is bulk cooking oil delivered?

Bulk oil ships by tanker truck (typically about 5,000–6,500 gallons), in IBC totes (typically 275 or 330 gallons each), or in 55-gallon drums. We quote the format that fits your storage and consumption, then schedule delivery around your production calendar.

Q: What is the minimum order?

Hudson Oils is built for full-truckload (FTL) buyers. Exact minimums depend on the product, format, and delivery location, and are confirmed in every quote.

Q: Does every shipment include a Certificate of Analysis?

Yes. Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), provided before or with your first shipment and with every lot after.

Q: What certifications do your oils carry?

Hudson Oils works to food-industry standards: USDA, FDA, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, and GFSI/SQF. Certification documents are available on request for supplier approval.

Q: Do you offer spot and contract pricing?

Yes. You can buy a single load at current market pricing or lock in contract pricing with a recurring delivery schedule. Every quote reflects real market conditions, not a stale price sheet.

Q: Can we sell Hudson Oils oil under our own brand?

Yes. Our private label program supplies retail and foodservice brands, bottlers, and co-packers with spec-matched bulk oil and lot-level documentation to support their label.

How bulk oil is delivered

Bulk edible oil ships in three common formats. A food-grade tank truck carries liquid oil directly into on-site storage, typically about 5,000–6,500 gallons per load. IBC totes, typically 275 or 330 gallons each, suit plants without bulk tanks. 55-gallon drums on pallets suit smaller lines or multiple locations.

The right format depends on storage capacity, receiving equipment, and how fast you use oil. Minimums and lead times depend on product, format, and delivery location.
