New and exciting option emerges in retort packaging
The National Food Lab (The NFL, www.TheNFL.com), a consulting and testing firm, expands its product and process development capabilities by offering Tetra Pak’s Tetra Recart® retortable cartons in its R&D Pilot Plant.
Tetra Recart by Tetra Pak is a retortable carton package designed for use with shelf-stable products containing particulates of almost any size. With four available sizes, including 200, 340, 390, and 500ml volumes, it offers a variety of advantages; including portability, ease of opening, and convenient space saving stackability. Tetra Recart is a truly sustainable packaging solution for today and tomorrow. It delivers a high level of food safety, with no compromise on product quality and flavor. Processing Tetra Recart packages in The NFL’s Allpax Stretch 2402 R & D retort allows The NFL to identify the optimal combination of processing parameters. This leads to several benefits for clients: the development of high quality products; identifying efficient cooking times; minimizing conversion costs; and increased speed to market.
