Fresh Food versus Previously Frozen

We have found that more than one-half of the fish advertised and priced as “fresh” in grocery counters has been previously frozen! How many times has the product you brought home and worked so hard to prepare just didn’t taste the way you thought it should?

EFresh our proprietary technology electrically illustrates the cell membranes of the fish. When the fish is frozen the cell membranes burst and the measured value changes along with the flavor.

If we knew the fish was peviously frozen it could be prepared sauced or in a casserole as opposed to a stand-alone entree.

We have to stop this fraud, charging us for fresh when it was previously frozen. Share your stories with us and let’s see if we can get the grocers attention.

Thank you,

Cheers!

Packaged and restaurant foods should reduce their salt content by 25 percent over the next five years, says a national campaign led by New York City Health Commissioner Thomas Farley..

Nearly 80 percent of all salt consumed is added to foods before they are sold.

The American Meat Institute, which has published a fact sheet on the health and safety benefits of salt say it has “been active in the draft target process, participating in numerous webinars and meetings during the past several months, specifically addressing the proposed meat food category definitions, sodium reduction targets, the need for sodium functionality in meat products and food safety concerns.”

Russia Bans U.S. Poultry Over Chlorine

Russia joins the European Union in prohibiting the use of chlorine as an anti-microbial treatment in poultry production, which is commonly used in the United States.

American poultry exports to Russia are the biggest component of U.S. agricultural exports to the former Soviet Union.
