Heat and Eat Process
The heat and eat technology we use is an integrated cooking, packaging and cooling system for soups and meals; which means that raw ingredients are prepared, cooked, and packed within 4 hours, using the best available technology.
Tech
high pressure processing
Fresh sauces carry a minor pathogen risk; HPP fully addresses this risk, providing a four log reduction in pathogens. HPP preserves nutrients while killing pathogens, making our Irish chilled sauces and hummus probably the safest on sale.
