The refrigerated food and beverage industry is increasingly moving toward high-pressure processing (HPP) as a means of developing new products. But, what some in the industry may not know is that HPP tolling gives all cold food processors the ability to produce HPP foods without having to install the equipment necessary to do so.
For example, Universal Pasteurization Co. (UPC), Lincoln, Neb., offers a complete lineup of HPP services such as kitting, sleeving, tempering, ink-jetting and full order picking, as well as HPP value-added services, including blast freezing, dry age curing, water and air tempering and a full complement of logistic services.
UPC is also home to four HPP tolling centers located in Lincoln, Neb.; Coppell, Texas; Villa Rica, Ga.; and Malvern, Pa.
