CASE STUDY: Making Baby Food Manufacturing Child’s Play

When it comes to feeding little ones, sometimes parents need a helping hand!

Pre-prepared baby foods are a Godsend when time is short… and baby is hungry. Needless to say, food safety doesn’t get much more important than with products created specifically for babies. But there’s a challenge; gently steaming the product – to retain flavour, nutrients and texture – then chilling so it can be sold in parent-friendly handy pouches and fed to baby with complete confidence.

Our client, a leading producer of a range of delicious, easy-to-digest baby foods, needed a process that could handle even the most delicate laminates without either deformation or damage. Our retorts offered class-beating temperature and pressure control to deliver perfect results every time. Additional key benefits included batch reports in FDA approved formats and the specially designed trays used allowed maximum retort utilization. This resulted in saved energy as well as a reduced eco-impact for every tray produced. A win-win!

As the client was initially unfamiliar with retorting equipment, ancillaries and procedure, they were both delighted and reassured by our second-to-none customer support and assistance. With any concerns about ensuring the very highest quality for their customers allayed, they were able to easily comply with ever-increasing reporting requirements.
