World Food Safety Day 2025
The humble potato is the world’s 4th most cultivated crop, feeding billions around the world, from fries to stews! In recognition of World Food Safety Day and this year’s theme, Science in Action, FPS highlights the advanced science and technology behind our end-to-end potato processing solutions. From raw receiving to packaging, we showcase how food safety is engineered into every step.
Did you know? At FPS, every potato’s journey begins with gentle care from careful storage that preserves freshness and prevents bruising to advanced cleaning and sorting systems that remove dirt, debris and defects. FPS incorporates engineering design at the raw receiving stage, setting the gold standard for food safety and quality.
Ever wonder why fries don’t turn gray? Blanching partially cooks the potatoes and gelatinizes surface starches, preparing them for frying. Our system filters water continuously, recovers heat for efficiency, and ensures enzyme-free, safe potatoes.
While frying fries, natural sugars and proteins react under high heat to create their irresistible golden color and rich, complex flavors. Our precision-controlled fryers maintain optimal temperature and help eliminate bacteria and microbes, ensuring the fries are both delicious and safe.
Rapid freezing forms tiny crystals that preserve texture, keeping fries fresh and safe. Once frozen, the fries move directly into the packaging stage, where they are sealed in oxidation-resistant, food-grade bags that protect against contamination and preserve freshness.
