Consumers want food to be as natural as possible when it is preserved. Vegetables are among the products that have long since become an indispensable source of healthy food and therefore it is particularly important to retain their naturalness. This also applies to crispy corn on the cob or spicy beetroot. Both types of vegetables are sterilized in vacuum bags from allfo in order to prevent germs on the surface while preserving this delicious treat for as long as possible.
 

This process is carried out by heating the yellow cobs or the red vegetables to over 100 degrees in an allfo side-seal bag OPA/PP 75/15 121°, a high-quality bag made of barrier film tolerating temperatures of up to 121°C. This particular feature makes this bag type perfectly suitable for sterilization in an autoclave in order to extend the shelf life and improve the safety of the product without the use of preserving agents.
 

ALLFO vacuum bags for demanding gastronomic enterprises

Even canteen kitchens, which are increasingly turning into sophisticated restaurants, have discovered vacuum bags from allfo when processing vegetables.

Allfo’s response to this demand is to keep a large variety of vacuum bags in stock, such as the cook-in bag, for packaging prefabricated vegetables.
 

Vegetables and potatoes
