Challenges in this Sector

Some challenges found within this sector include:

• Large amount of processing and production of the food product, which increase the chance of stainless steel contamination caused by processing and packaging machine failure
• Use of foil top packaging with yogurts for freshness and quality
• Unwanted holes in cheese, which are formed during the cheese making process
• Cold, wet and harsh high-care environments, where hygiene, cleanliness and sanitation are of prime importance
• Increase in private label manufacture, requiring food manufacturers to be serving multiple retailers with multiple products
• Lightweight chilled desserts, which provide complex handling during production
