Food-Preserving Microbial Ingredients

Florida Food Products Debuts VegStable Secure

— May 29, 2023 — Lifestyle
Florida Food Products has recently introduced VegStable Secure, an innovative clean-label antimicrobial ingredient. This groundbreaking ingredient provides a natural means to protect food products against pathogens and spoilage, primarily by mitigating the growth of Listeria monocytogenes. VegStable Secure effectively combats Listeria's detrimental effects on food quality. Furthermore, this product holds the potential to extend the shelf life of various applications, such as meats, hams, and hot dogs, by using a natural approach derived from plants.

"[...] VegStable Secure is a real game-changer for the industry in terms of antimicrobial protection because it helps brands control Listeria monocytogenes, extend shelf life, and keep foods safe and secure — naturally, with the power of plants. Antimicrobials such as sodium acetate, sodium lactate, and nitrates play an essential role in the modern food supply chain to ensure that products stay safe and fresh," said Jason Reicks, vice president of market development, performance, FFP.
