Meat and poultry preservation solutions

Today's meat consumers base their purchase decisions on a range of preferences and expectations. Processors must deliver on, and account for, a broad spectrum of factors and attributes, including flavor, texture, color stability, moisture content, nutritional content, cook yield, sliceability, water activity, pH, and, of course, food safety. Balancing all of these considerations in processing requires specialized knowledge and experience, and oftentimes, teamwork.
