UHT, Connected Packaging, and Other Food Safety Technologies of the Future

UHT products see growing success in e-commerce; manufacturers continue to improve food safety.

UHT products—especially broth, milk, dairy alternatives, juice, and petfood—are seeing large success in e-commerce.
UHT products—especially broth, milk, dairy alternatives, juice, and petfood—are seeing large success in e-commerce.

Data collected in the 2020 Tetra Pak Index global research study, COVID-19 and the Food Safety-Environment Dilemma, show that food safety is a major issue for consumers, according to more than two-thirds of the respondents.

When shelves went empty in grocery stores earlier this year due to the pandemic, Tetra Pak took the opportunity to run a campaign on ultra-high temperature (UHT) packaged goods to educate consumers on how aseptic processing and packaging can keep products fresh and safe without the need for preservatives.

UHT products—especially broth, milk, dairy alternatives, juice, and petfood—are seeing large success in e-commerce due to their light weights, rectangular packaging, and compatibility with ambient storage and shipping, according to Pedro Goncalves, the vice president of marketing, Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada.
