Non-Thermal 100% Natural Process

High Pressure Processing (HPP) is widely used in the seafood industry for shellfish shucking. The technology uses cold water at high pressure to recover 100% of the edible meat of oysters, lobsters, mussels, and other shellfish, which helps maximize yield, reduce labor costs, and avoid operator injuries.

Without the use of heat, HPP extends the shelf life of shucked shellfish meat up to 21 days, while enhancing food safety by inactivating viruses, bacteria, and parasites without affecting the natural freshness and taste of the meat.
