Sajjan, Minister of International Development and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada (PacifiCan), FPS Food Process Solutions (“FPS”), will receive $2M in funding to further expand commercialization of the Spiral Immersion System (SIS)™, a revolutionary technology in the food processing industry.
