Shelf Life and Packaging
Our customers are increasingly demanding the use of innovative shelf live and packaging technologies including MAP or Frozen to preserve the quality and safety of our food products or and/or reduce food waste. FFG has been experimenting with a lot of innovation in food packaging in recent years, with many new materials and technologies being developed to improve the shelf life of food products, reduce food waste, and enhance the consumer experience.

FFG continually explores and tests food technologies to develop new and innovative ways to produce food products that meet the needs of our customers. From natural food additives to thermal and high-pressure processing, and innovative technological food packaging. Our commitment is to ensure our food products are safe to eat and environmentally friendly.
Technology & Automation
FFG is continuously looking at production automation opportunities including the use of machinery, robotics, and computerized systems to automate various aspects of the food production process targeted to increase efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve product consistency and quality.
Automated sorting and grading
Robotic product handling
Automated mixing and blending
Packaging automation
Quality control automation
In our view, the automated systems we are already using and others under development are most certainly helping to ensure product quality, safety, consistency, efficiency, and cost. However, we continuously ensure that food safety and quality are not compromised in the pursuit of our increasing automation, and that all equipment and systems are properly maintained and monitored.
