The Benefits of Aseptic Contract Manufacturing

Gehl Food & Beverage Companies' aseptic products are ready to serve and packed in convenient packages that fit the needs of your consumers. Our secret is an advanced aseptic process that locks in freshness without refrigeration. Aseptic processing allows food and beverage products to achieve commercial sterility by virtually eliminating all microorganisms that cause spoilage. This process creates a commercially sterile product that does not spoil at ambient temperature. With an airtight seal and this commercial sterility, products can have a 12 – 18 month ambient shelf life without compromising taste or nutrition.
