Associated Grocers, Inc. Test Results

Observation and Problems

The Associated Grocery Store Co-op was experiencing a problem with keeping fruits and vegetables fresher and odor free throughout their entire operations. The "shrink" was running far above industry standards. In addition, the majority of the produce coolers had excess moisture, which in turn was causing a mold problem.

Solution

Mega Fresh® Filter units were installed behind the existing produce evaporators. This type of installation did not impede any use of shelf space or storage ability of fruits and vegetables. The goal was to reduce excess moisture and control the ethylene gas.

Results

Mr. R.M. Carr, Equipment Engineering Manager, said, "The BK product called Mega Fresh® has helped maintain moisture control and enhance the life of perishable products by retarding the ethylene gas ripening process." Mr. Carr also recommended the Mega Fresh Filter system to all A.G. Co-op members.
