This facility brings the total national food processing capacity to one billion pounds per year for the San Diego-based food safety technology company.
Larry Oberkfell, chairman, president and CEO, said: “As a strategic national hub in domestic food production and processing, this facility will also give our customers greater flexibility in getting their products to market.”
The service centre offers simultaneous processing with both SureBeam electron beam and x-ray technology and has an annual capacity in excess of 300 million pounds. SureBeam’s new West Coast service center will be used to process meat, fresh and frozen food products, and spices.
California is the nation’s largest food processing state, producing more than US$26bn worth of food products per year with Los Angeles ranking second in the nation for meat processing and packaging and first in fruit and vegetable processing.
