Why Food Processing Is More Important Than Ever

Ensuring the safety of ingredients and products is a priority for food production industry. With the delicate balances maintained between production volume, flavor and texture, and governmental regulations, very tight control must be maintained over most food processes. We provide the following services for food processing and manufacturing: food equipment performance monitoring, control point monitoring, quality assurance, and detection of contaminants and microbes.

We live in an increasingly globalized society where a lot of people live thousands of miles away from where their food is sourced. Even when goods are produced and sold domestically, vast distances often separate the dinner table from the farm.

In the U.S., for example, less than 1 percent of the population is actively involved in agriculture. By contrast, roughly 80 percent of Americans live in metropolitan areas. As such, producers must invest ample thought into how they prepare food for modern consumers — both at home and around the globe.

However, navigating this landscape isn’t easy:

There are many options when it comes to transforming raw ingredients into finished, marketable goods for end users.
Consumers are becoming more discerning about how their food is prepared, especially when processing is involved.
Regulators continue to publish new guidelines concerning food processing and labeling — almost on a daily basis.

These challenges are very real, and they will become more pronounced as the gap between growers and consumers increases with time. But with the right food processing company by your side, it’s possible to consistently deliver quality products that are:

Easy to transport over vast distances
Safe to store for extended periods
Delicious to eat in any quantity or amount
