Reducing food waste is imperative for fighting world hunger, and technologies to reduce food waste can also help improve food safety, quality, and shelf life.

When determining the shelf life of meat products, it is important to consider how the growth of both spoilage organisms and pathogenic bacteria can be prevented, while at the same time keeping a keen eye on the sensory quality of the product.
 

Kalsec recently introduced DuraShield™ Antimicrobial Natural Food Protection Blends, which increases shelf life and food safety naturally.

Achieving peak food safety and a long shelf life can be accomplished with the right combination of packaging materials and technology—especially during a pandemic.

Shelf life is a tricky thing—it depends on a variety of factors

The correct packaging can make a big difference in food and beverage shelf life, and there are different techniques to prevent leakage and spoilage, as well. 

The food industry is undergoing rapid change, much of which is driven by high consumer and retailer expectations when it comes to food freshness, quality, safety and expedience. That’s a tall order for brands to fill while also focusing on innovation and adapting packaging to align with changing retail trends such as e-commerce.
