Nine founding companies have worked together with PMMI to create a new industry group, the Cold Pressure Council (CPC), to focus on the advancement of high-pressure processing (HPP) within the food and beverage industry.
HPP has been used successfully to “pasteurize” several varieties of foods with a relatively high degree of water content, thus extending their shelf life. Examples include avocados, lobster, salsa, lunch meats and even RTE meals.
