Keeps food
fresher, longer

What is Antigrade?

Antigrade is proprietary technology from Norway that signals a revolution in food preservation.

It keeps fish, meat, fruit and vegetables, fresher, healthier and tastier for longer.

This completely natural technology not only improves the microbial quality, safety and shelf life of produce but also massively reduces food waste and carbon emissions.

How it works

Antigrade has a similar effect on food as cooling or freezing, but without reducing the ambient temperature.

It alters the environment surrounding the produce to improve its microbial qualities – usually through incorporation into food packaging.

Benefits

Antigrade requires no modifications or investment into plant and its efficiencies can be realised throughout the value chain.

A longer shelf life may support a more cost-effective and carbon-friendly choice of transport.

Stores and restaurants will reduce food waste and secure higher profit margins.

Consumers will also benefit from longer shelf life, reduced waste and better food safety.
