4 Reasons You Need a Block Breaker for Your Plant

More and more large food service companies, like McDonald’s and Wendy’s, require the meat in their beef patties to be treated with a citric acid spray to reduce or eliminate bacteria in the product — putting pressure on meat processors to find ways to effectively and efficiently treat beef trim pieces.

Meat processors that adapt to include a treatment spray on trim pieces will benefit greatly from getting ahead of this new processing trend.

Not to mention, it will be easy to be distracted by all the amazing products, equipment, and exhibits you’ll see.
