FAHRENHEIT

HOW

Heat sufficient to destroy microorganisms is applied to foods packed into sealed, or “airtight” containers. The canned foods are then heated under steam pressure at temperatures of 240-250° Fahrenheit (116-121° Celsius).

PEAK OF
FRESHNESS

WHY

Minimizing transportation keeps costs down as well as ensuring that food, especially fruits and vegetables, are packed when the flavor is greatest.

SAFETY BENEFITS

The canning process was developed to preserve food safely and for long periods of time. Once the food is packed into a can, the can is heated to a temperature which kills all known microorganisms.
This production is carried out under strict hygienic conditions and under the supervision of qualified food technologists. The R&D department here is always striving to develop new products and packaging to provide the utmost satisfaction to customers. FSSAI license no.: 10012051000 404
