Product tasting<br />

This month, <strong>Smithfield</strong> Prod launched<br />

some new recipes: 11 assortments of<br />

sausages and 7 assortments of highly<br />

seasoned forcemeat balls.<br />

„ With this 3.5 milion USD <strong>Smithfield</strong><br />

Prod investment, <strong>the</strong> pork achieves <strong>the</strong><br />

optimum parameters so as to be safely kept and<br />

subsequently consumed.“<br />

<strong>Smithfield</strong> Prod<br />

invested 3.5 mil. USD<br />

in technological upgrade<br />

<strong>Smithfield</strong> Prod has completed <strong>the</strong><br />

technological upgrade works in<br />

<strong>the</strong> rapid refrigeration area of pork<br />

carcasses resulted from <strong>the</strong> slaughtering<br />

process. The investment<br />

amounted to USD 3.5 million, <strong>the</strong><br />

new refrigeration area covering 755<br />

m2. For almost 4 months, 7 contracting<br />

companies have been involved<br />

in this project.<br />

Rapid refrigeration is a refrigeration<br />

method for foods, pork in<br />

this case, at a low temperature, safe<br />

in terms of preventing bacterial proliferation.<br />

With this investment, by transiting<br />

<strong>the</strong> carcasses in tunnels with temperatures<br />

bet<strong>we</strong>en -18 and –24 °C, for 90<br />

minutes, <strong>the</strong> pork achieves <strong>the</strong> optimum<br />

parameters so as to be safely<br />

kept and subsequently consumed.<br />

Rapid cooling of pork carcasses<br />

can also be useful to processors as an<br />

additional method to control <strong>the</strong> microbial<br />

proliferation and, implicitly,<br />

<strong>the</strong> increase of food safety as regards<br />

basic pork products.<br />

<strong>Smithfield</strong> Prod is <strong>the</strong> largest slaughterhouse<br />

in Romania, with a processing<br />

capacity of 600 heads per hour, being<br />

located on <strong>the</strong> former COMTIM<br />

premises. <strong>Smithfield</strong> Prod values are<br />
