Dole Mandarin Oranges In Juice 2.84L/6oz
Dole Mandarin Oranges in Juice in a 2.84L #10 can is a versatile citrus ingredient for executive chefs, salad bars, catering teams, schools, and institutional food service operators. Use it for Mandarin chicken salads, citrus vinaigrettes, fruit tarts, breakfast buffets, and dessert plating. ChickenPieces.com ships this Dole mandarin orange can Canada-wide from Calgary.
The 2.84L #10 can of Dole Mandarin Oranges in Juice is the workhorse fruit for Canadian food service operations that need consistent, seedless segments without the heavy syrup. Executive chefs and kitchen managers use these across everything from Mandarin chicken salad to a house citrus vinaigrette, and the juice pack keeps the flavour bright instead of cloying. One can yields about 24 to 30 half-cup portions, which for a Calgary caterer can mean prepping a full salad bar portion in under 15 minutes with no knife work.
Dole Mandarin Oranges In Juice 2.84L/6oz: Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service
These are whole, seedless mandarin segments with a firm, delicate bite that holds shape through mixing, folding, or layering on a tart. The juice pack uses white grape and lemon juice concentrates, so you get a sweet-tart citrus balance that works in savoury and dessert lines without the heavy, sticky finish of syrup-packed fruit. When you're plating a 200-cover event and someone is waiting for the cold line to come out, having pre-portioned segments ready cuts minutes off your service.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.
"We opened 23 cans of these for a Calgary hotel wedding weekend last Friday, and they moved the entire stack in 48 hours, mostly for the salad bar and a citrus relish. The juice pack holds up cold on the line. I keep at least two cans on the shelf for any banquet over 300 covers."
When your inventory has to stay moving across a busy week, a #10 can of mandarin segments gives you a quick single source for the cold line, the bakery, and the brunch buffet. The segments keep their shape in a spin or a mix, so they don't turn to mush on a buffet over two hours. They're shelf-stable for 12 to 18 months, which means you can stock up without worrying about turnover. For more ways to work with bulk fruit in your kitchen, check out our food service range.
Quality & Specifications
Grade A whole mandarin segments, seedless, packed in water with white grape and lemon juice concentrates. Each 2.84L #10 can holds about 100 ounces and yields 24 to 30 half-cup portions. This product declares Kosher and gluten-free, with no common food allergens declared, and it is fat-free and cholesterol-free, which simplifies menu planning for dietary restrictions.
Professional Applications
Use them as a chilled garnish on breakfast buffets, or plate them on cheesecake with a citrus glaze for dessert. Fold into Mandarin chicken salad, or puree with a bit of can juice and vinaigrette for a citrus dressing. They also do a quick job as a cold garnish for a fruit tart or a dessert parfait on your cold line. Any of these uses saves you the labour of segmenting fresh fruit.
Storage & Handling
Keep the unopened can in a cool, dry store room at 10°C to 21°C, and it stays shelf-stable for 12 to 18 months. After opening, transfer the unused portion to a clean, non-metallic container with a lid and refrigerate at 4°C or below. Use within 3 to 4 days. Do not freeze; freezing will soften the segments and break the texture you need for plating.
Canadian Sourcing

The specific origin is always printed on the can label, which satisfies CFIA rules. ChickenPieces.com holds stock in our Calgary hub and ships coast-to-coast, across all 10 provinces and 3 territories, so you get the same product profile whether you are in St. John's or Victoria.
