Sustainability - A chain reaction?

With the strawberry season in Morocco and Spain winding down and Poland in full swing on a range of fruits, Sales & Marketing Manager Marco van de Sant takes time out to appraise you on how SVZ sees the market.

Clean raspberries

SVZ aims to reduce the risk of foreign materials in raspberries, following a request from customers in the search of reducing this risk and thus consumer complaints.

Dairy fruit preparation – Recipe idea with Verifruit®

In the previous issue of SVZ’s Harvest, we discussed the benefits of using Verifruit® in a fruit preparation. Replacing the IQF fruits in a fruit prep by Verifruit® will enable delicate berries to stay intact: pressure-sensitive fruits keep their shape due to our unique infusion technology. This will result in an increased percentage of whole fruits. It also ensures a natural rich colour and flavour of the fruits, which minimises - or may even eliminate - the need for extra colouring and flavouring in the end product.

Gradual transfer to new jerrycan

As announced in the December 2009 Harvest edition, SVZ will replace the 15, 25 and 28 kg jerrycans by one standard 20 kg jerrycan.

“Heat treated" pallets to become new standard for SVZ

SVZ has decided that all newly purchased wooden pallets – both Block and Euro pallets – will be heat treated.
