In 2002, almost half of all food consumed in the United States was eaten out-of-home in places like restaurants and school and work cafeterias. When U.S. consumers dine out, they expect it all—convenience, high quality, flavor and fresh ingredients.

Tetra Pak provides a variety of cost-effective processing and packaging solutions that add value for manufacturers, operators and distributors alike, with aseptic cartons, gable-top cartons and other innovative packaging solutions ideally suited for this channel.

Aseptic Means Opportunity

Tetra Pak’s aseptic packaging brings new opportunities and cost-savings to the foodservice industry by locking in “from-scratch” flavor and freshness in liquid foods for up to nine months without preservatives or refrigerated distribution or storage. This shelf stable technology opens doors for new, high-margin menu items with exceptional flavor that can be distributed at a low cost.

With aseptic packaging, a wide range of delicious gourmet-quality soups, sauces and other foods with delicate ingredients—even dairy—can now be pre-packaged and distributed to save preparation time in the chef’s kitchen.

For restaurants, food manufacturers and distributors alike, Tetra Pak means value:

• High quality, consistent “from scratch” flavor with no preservatives
• Introduction of new “in-trend” soups, sauces and menu items
• Time-savings and labor savings for chefs
• Shelf stable for improved food safety—storage temperature not an issue
• Convenient sizes for smaller portions and less waste
• Cost-savings through non-refrigerated distribution & storage
• Cost-savings from less spoilage

With 50 years of global experience, expert foodservice staff and the Tetra Pak Pilot Plant in Denton, Texas, Tetra Pak is a solid partner for manufacturers in developing new products and entering new markets.
