Conserving nutrition
As well as protecting food, steel cans are an excellent way to preserve food, locking in flavour, vitamins and minerals in a safe, protective, convenient pack. To ensure the highest levels of quality, the canning takes place within a couple of hours of harvesting and right after canning, the food is cooked in the sealed can to preserve it while keeping all of its nutritional value.
The quality of food which is destined for can processing is strictly controlled to maintain freshness. More so, in fact, than the majority of «fresh» foods which are stocked and supplied using the usual distribution channels.
FACT: The time spent between the harvesting, transport and processing of canned foods is in most cases less than 2 hours, and is one of the principal reasons why such a high nutritional value is maintained.
