Technologies for oven, fryers and smokehouses during the past few decades have been evolutionary, which explains many of the improvements the industry is seeing currently and is expected to see in the future.
While shoppers typically see fried foods as containing large amounts of fat and calories, a significant base of consumers is willing to accept them in return for flavorful meat and poultry.
While sales opportunities are strong in the sector, processors seeking to grow activity will likely face a host of complex production requirements inherent to developing cooked, fried and smoked options. They include financial, technological and administrative issues.
