Florida Food Products (FFP) has launched a new plant-based antioxidant, VegStableFresh, during the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, Georgia. IPPE attendees were invited to FFP booth #C13023 to learn more about VegStableFresh, an exciting new clean label alternative to chemical additives (e.g., BHA/BHT). This innovative new plant-based antioxidant—derived from green tea, rosemary, acerola, and rice bran extract—allows for a simpler label that maintains the desired color and flavor of meat and poultry products while also extending their shelf life.
“Our team is excited to launch our latest clean label antioxidant solution, VegStableFresh, at IPPE 2022,” said Christopher Naese, vice president, business development, Florida Food Products. “VegStableFresh is an ideal clean label alternative to chemical antioxidants that makes it possible to maintain the quality and freshness of meat and poultry products, such as fresh and cooked pork sausage, and ground turkey, with the power of plants. In ground turkey applications, VegStableFresh has not only improved shelf-life extension and provided rancidity prevention but is also aiding purge reduction and enhancing texture. No chemicals, less spoilage, more consumer appeal means a win for everyone.”
