High Pressure Processing (HPP) has become the most popular food processing technology among brands and food companies. This is due to growing consumer demand for safe, additive-free food products with extended shelf life and premium quality. Join us on October 15th for a free, live webinar on Food Safety & Clean Label: Marketing the Benefits of HPP to Consumers, which will shed light on successful marketing strategies to communicate HPP benefits to consumers.
Consumer Demand for High Pressure Processing (HPP) Products
High pressure processing (HPP) has become increasingly popular due to consumer demand for fresh, natural foods with no preservatives. That interest has grown with COVID-19, as many foods and beverages pasteurized by HPP contain immune-boosting properties that consumers want.
With this trend, the food & beverage industry is experiencing a massive shift to produce foods with clean labels, meaning the product’s ingredients are fresh and natural without chemicals or additives. These foods have grown in importance as consumers carefully examine food labels to find the fewest or safest-sounding ingredients and least amount of “processing.”
Many of them have turned to High Pressure Processing, a non-thermal food preservation technology that uses water and high pressure to keep packaged foods pathogen-free and fresher longer. HPP applications include ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook meats, juices and beverages, guacamole and avocado products, baby food and fruit purees, salsas and dips, dairy products, seafood products, and ready-to-eat meals.
HPP also extends product shelf life, enabling producers to keep their products on the shelf longer, preserving food safety and reducing costs.

The Organization Helping to Drive HPP Consumer Awareness
The Cold Pressure Council’s mission is to lead, facilitate and promote industry standardization, user education and consumer awareness of High Pressure Processing. Convened by PMMI, the council addresses questions about HPP while developing and formalizing best practices.
Hiperbaric is a founding member, in addition to Good Foods and Evolution Fresh, two leading food producers. The council seeks to grow membership now that HPP is more widely used in food production and many more products can be found on grocery store shelves, big box retailers and convenience stores.
Hiperbaric will hold the free, live webinar, Food Safety & Clean Label: Marketing the Benefits of HPP to Consumers, on Thursday, Oct. 15.
