Innovative ready-to-eat meals
Due to modern lifestyles, there is a growing need for nutritionally balanced meals that can be served quickly while maintaining the same quality as “homemade” dishes. To meet this demand, we proudly present our new innovative line of ready-to-eat meals: Yam–Potaman.
Our meals are prepared using traditional culinary methods, without the addition of preservatives or additives. The technology of hermetically sealed containers, which are pasteurized after sealing, ensures reliable microbiological safety while preserving flavor and valuable nutrients. The containers are packed in outer sleeves, placed in cardboard boxes, stored, transported, and distributed within a cold chain below 4°C, allowing them to be served immediately.
Each container features a one-way valve that:
- Maintains hermetic sealing during pasteurization
- Forms a vacuum during cooling, preserving the full flavor and quality of the meal throughout its shelf life
Pasteurization is monitored with a probe and conducted according to a validated process in line with the guidelines of the European Chilled Food Federation and the FSA – Advisory Committee on the Microbiological Safety of Food.
Official shelf-life studies have been conducted in an accredited laboratory for shelf life of 42 days. In summer 2024, studies for meals free of lysozyme (milk, eggs) will be extended to 90 days shelf life.
Our products and packaging comply with all national and EU regulations.
Additionally, we have established an integrated food quality and safety management system aligned with the Codex Alimentarius Commission guidelines for good kitchen practices, and certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 22000:2018 standards by an accredited certification body.
All cooked, stewed, and baked dishes are designed across three ready-to-eat meal lines:
- TRADITIONAL READY-TO EAT DISH – classic, hearty dishes with meat (stews, sarma, stuffed bell peppers, etc.).
- LIGHT READY-TO-EAT DISH– lighter meals for everyday consumption (gnocchi with chicken, chicken with mlinci pasta, vegetable rice with pork steak in sauce, etc.).
- VEGAN READY-TOI-EAT DISH– dishes made exclusively from plant-based ingredients (baked beans, stewed mushrooms with millet, vegetable rice, etc.).
