Superior Taste, Texture and Appearance
• Cooked in the pouch allowing for retention of natural juices and aromatics
• Unlike canned products the “thin walled” pouch allows for a much shorter cooking time resulting in better taste, texture and appearance

Dramatically Reduced Labor Costs
• Fully cooked – simply heat and serve with no preparation
• Allows you to shift labor to other value-added tasks

Certified Food Safety
• Products are cooked to a temperature of 250 degrees eliminating the worry over foodborne illness in undercooked meats
• All products are HACCP certified to ensure food safety

On Demand Preparation
• Products are heated and ready to serve in as little as 20 minutes
• Unlike frozen products, there is no need to thaw or “slack” products before cooking
• Easily cut open pouches are much more convenient than opening #10 cans, with no sharp edges
• Opened pouches can be stored up to 2 days when refrigerated

Extremely Cost Effective
• When considering labor, ingredients, and yield loss, à la smart foods are a very efficient way to optimize food costs
• Cost per ounce ranges from 8 to 21 cents per ounce*
