Perdue adopts Ultra-High-Pressure to fight pathogens
Processor Perdue Farms is installing ultra-high pressure to destroy food-borne pathogens in the production of its prepared poultry products.
Supplied by Flow International, the "Fresher Under Pressure" system is "a promising technology to produce safer products while adhering to our customers' expectations of freshness and quality,'' said Perdue Farms chairman Jim Perdue. "The technology will enhance food safety without affecting flavor, texture or nutritional value." Perdue Farms did not indicate what plants will receive the equipment.
