FoodTouch® Antimicrobial-Protected Paper Now Available Exclusively from FoodHandler
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) March 14, 2014 -- FoodHandler, Inc., a leading developer and supplier of high-quality food safety solutions, is now the exclusive source for FoodTouch® antimicrobial-protected paper products. The patented, one-of-a-kind paper line will make its debut with FoodHandler in Booth 886 at Seafood Expo North America March 16-18 in Boston, Mass.
“FoodTouch antimicrobial-protected paper products offer an active, simple and smart solution that will allow our customers to better manage their valuable food products throughout the chain of custody,” said FoodHandler Marketing Manager Cory Sexson. “Our solutions address food freshness in all segments of the food industry, including foodservice providers, food and beverage processors and manufacturers and grocer retailers.”
An alternative to traditional passive packaging, the FoodTouch active packaging solution features a multifaceted structure and an antimicrobial-protected surface that keeps food fresher longer. Since coming onto the market more than seven years ago, FoodTouch products have supported the operational best practices of some of the most respected food companies in the world.
“FoodTouch antimicrobial-protected paper products have a history of keeping perishable foods fresher longer, and they work particularly well to preserve the natural color and texture of fresh fish and seafood,” said Tony Salemi, president of MicrobeGuard Corporation, the manufacturer of FoodTouch. “Premier seafood processors worldwide use the green FoodTouch Tuna Wrap to keep tuna brighter in color and fresher during transport to their customers.”
Cheryl Fuller, director of fresh seafood operations for Halperns’ Steak & Seafood in Atlanta, Ga., has used FoodTouch green tuna paper wrap since 2010. Halperns’ tuna is sought by executive chefs at fine restaurants throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern U.S.
“We’ve built a cult following among chefs with our tuna program that incorporates FoodTouch,” said Cheryl. “All of our tuna is cut to order and wrapped in the special green paper. It adds tremendous value for the chefs. We’ve tested this paper internally, and our test demonstrated that the tuna stays fresher 2½ to 3 days longer on average when it’s wrapped in FoodTouch versus other wrapping materials.”
