915 Labs offers a more minimal way to process and package food through its microwave assisted thermal sterilization, or MATS. The technology reduces food’s exposure to high heat, which helps preserve natural nutrients and flavors in food sans artificial additives, preservatives and high levels of sodium.

The company just announced it is building MATS-30 production capacity systems, capable of processing up to 10 million units annually, including single-serve trays, pouches and food service packaging formats. Many processors are currently using 915 Labs’ small-scale MATS-B systems to develop recipes and for small production runs. However, the new systems will allow larger scale processing and more partnerships with companies looking to tap into new consumer preferences and changing food distribution strategies.
