A microwave pasteurized cooking and packaging method for chilled ready meals is now available in North, South and Central America exclusively through a partnership between Curwood, a Bemis Company, and MicVac, a Swedish-based solution provider.
“As a leading supplier of food-based packaging technologies, Curwood pays particular attention to existing and emerging consumer trends domestically and globally to support customer growth objectives,” explains David Engen, Curwood director of marketing. “Changing demographics, coupled with shifting economic conditions, have led to trends that support microwave pasteurization technology,” states Engen. “Consumers are demanding higher quality meal solutions that deliver on taste, texture, aroma and aesthetic appeal without the addition of preservatives or additives.
