CONSUMER ORIENTED SYSTEM FOR DELIVERY OF PRODUCT INCLUDING SINGLE-SERVING PACKAGE FOR PRESERVATIVE-FREE FROZEN FRUIT PIECES

摘要

A consumer-oriented method of processing and packaging single serving packages is provided that improves convenience and safety, reduces pathogens and spoilage, and promotes improved dietary intake, while extending frozen shelf life, wherein fruit is processed to create ready-to-eat single serving packages of preservative-free frozen fruit pieces that may be readily consumed without utensils, and which may include a freezing step that significantly extends frozen shelf life beyond that attainable using conventional fruit processing methods.
