Guides

Getting started

Read this before buying a jarShelf-stable soup in a sealed jar is the low-acid canned food regime, not a packaging project.Where to start, and who to call firstA process authority before a packaging supplier, and a pH meter before either.

The regime

Two numbers, both requiredpH above 4.6 and water activity above 0.85, with a tomato carve-out.Why process control and not testingThe regulation says the harmful nature cannot be adequately determined after the food enters commerce.The scheduled processEstablished by a competent processing authority, and you meet or exceed it.

The routes

Refrigerated or frozenNot shelf stable, so not within the thermally processed low-acid regime.Acidify it insteadBring the finished equilibrium pH to 4.6 or below and the acidified foods regime applies.Or do it properlyA process authority, a filed process, registration within ten days, and a retort.

What goes wrong

A jar does not make it shelf stableA sealed lid and a hot fill are not a thermal process, and the jar is what brings the regime.The pH was measured wrongThe brine rather than the equilibrium, the hot product rather than the settled one, or paper rather than a meter.A container change reopened the processA new jar size, shape or fill weight changes heat penetration and therefore the scheduled process.Three leaves are not packagingCatering bulk, meal prep and takeout are foodservice in disposables.

Containers

What we actually stock for this18 glass jars from 266 to 946 mL, all rated to 300 F, with 171 closures.Hot fill and the closureLug closures, pasteurization liners and the vacuum that forms on cooling.

Tools and directories

The check, before anything is filledFour questions, and the first two decide whether this is a project at all.
