What is High Pressure Processing (HPP)?
HPP is a science-based tool for food safety that uses cold, potable water and high pressure applied to the outside of the food package. Potable water is water that is safe to drink or use for food preparation. This non-thermal food preservation method harnesses the power of pressure to comprehensively inactivate illness-causing, vegetative pathogens (E. coli, Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes), molds and yeasts without compromising the nutritional value of the food. HPP also maintains the optimum attributes of fresh products over an extended shelf life.
