Intelligent food preservation

Microbial contamination can occur when moisture is trapped

in food packaging that is inadequately handled. It can occur

with the presence of contaminated water when produce is

cooled, washed or transported within packing and storage

facilities. Food spoilage can be caused by fertilisers, as well

as contaminated water and soil, unhygienic equipment, and

workers who neglect food safety and hygiene regulations. So

how do you address these?

HiCirc oven
