Pallet additives and special formulations help keep food safer

摘要

Just as consumers have become more aware of the ingredients in their food, so have the operations that handle those products as they travel from farm to fork-specifically with regard to the formulations of the pallets upon which edibles are transported, says Curt Most, senior product manager for ORBIS Corp.'s reusable plastic pallet lines. "Food processors have become increasingly concerned about eliminating possible sources of contamination in food, including from pallets," Most explains. "So, in addition to offering plastic pallets that are engineered to be easily cleaned and not harbor pests or pathogens, we've developed a variety of special resin formulations and additives to meet those needs."
