Products with clean labels are occupying more and more shelf space in grocery stores as consumers demand food with fewer chemicals and preservatives. If you’re on the East Coast, chances are you have Stay Fresh Foods to thank, at least in part, for those products. Many of the HPP foods found in the East have passed through the doors of Stay Fresh Foods; so many, in fact, that the Pennsauken, New Jersey-based company is expanding again, adding a third facility in as many years. Opening this fall, Stay Fresh Foods new facility in Richmond, Virginia, will feature Avure high-capacity HPP machines.
“Our newest center will be equipped with the industry’s most advanced HPP system, the Avure AV-60, which delivers the highest HPP output available,” said Amy Lawless, Managing Director at Stay Fresh Foods. “And like our other facilities, the Richmond area location will provide full service for our customers including packaging, labeling, cold storage, and distribution. With more locations we’ll cut down on our customers transportation costs and time, adding to their bottom line.”
