Located at UGA’s Food Product Innovation and Commercialization Center (FoodPIC) in Griffin, Georgia, this alliance represents a pioneering step towards ad- vancements in the food industry. The collaboration aims to offer commercial testing for food companies using the Tetra Recart packaging system, an alternative for foods like beans, fruits, pet food and sauces traditionally packaged in cans. Development and production of food products will be supported with a ro- bust network of experts using state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. Further, FoodPIC assists in creating strategic alliances with external engineering, marketing, and tech- nology groups to bring an idea to life from concept and research to formulation, prototyping and market launch. Complementing FoodPIC’s wide variety of packaging and processing equipment, the Tetra Recart trial facility will enable companies to test shelf-stability, ensure food safety and optimize product formulation at a fraction of the cost compared to alternative solutions. A food package uniquely suited for retail, Tetra Recart is an alternative to other packaging formats and offers lower direct product costs by requiring less space, having less weight and cre- ating less food waste. “We focus on expertise and technology that facilitate a faster time to market, ultimately benefitting the food com- pany, local economy and public at large,” said Dr. James Grazek, FoodPIC director. “To do this, we have to offer the most advanced and complete suite of equipment and ser- vices on the market.”
