Hazel Technologies Inc., the developer of new USDA-funded technologies to protect quality in the produce supply chain and fight food waste, and PureFresh Sales, a grower and marketer of premium California fresh fruit, have formed a partnership.
PureFresh has seen increased sales as a result of significantly lower quality claims since beginning use of Hazel Tech for select fresh fruit programs. In testing with researchers at UC-Davis, Hazel Tech helped retain favorable traits of stone fruit such as color and firmness for longer periods than control samples of fruit.
