If there is ever an unending debate about food, it would be about “Processed foods are full of preservatives and bad for our health” versus “Processed foods are easy, convenient, and a must-have for our present lifestyles”. On the one hand, there is increased health awareness and decades of bad press around processed foods. On the other hand, there is an ever-growing demand for healthy processed foods that include whole grains, nutritious vegetables, organic meats, and contain less salt, sugar, or saturated fats. However, one thing is certain, processed foods continue to fulfill the needs of a large majority of American households that do not cook fresh meals regularly. In fact, studies show that processed foods make up 70% of the American diet.

As a processed foods business, you may have to look at a number of aspects in this context. Is your food processing unit equipped to meet the evolving expectations on healthy processed meals? Have you invested in
food filling solutions that comply with the applicable regulations or industry norms? Are your machine components suitable for the particulate
content, or heating or cooling requirements of the newer, healthier ingredients that go into processing the food?
