DUBLIN, Calif.-The National Food Laboratory, Inc. says that it received notification from FDA accepting filing of the first rotary bottle filler intended for aseptic packaging low-acid beverages, in the United States.
The aseptic processing system designed by Shibuya International of Japan, provides a package that locks out air, seals in nutrients and flavor, and allows its contents to remain un-refrigerated for up to six months or more. The installation at Hood's Winchester Va. plant will be used for Nesquik and other licensed and Hood-owned products.
