Cans Protect
Products Better

A recent study published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture found that canned peaches pack as many nutrients as fresh—and retain nutrients much longer.

Safe and strong yet lightweight, cans:

• Keep out air and light — the two enemies of freshness.
• Retain the intended taste — especially delicate flavors like those in craft beers.
• Don’t shatter — they’re safer to fill and ship.
• Are the most tamper-resistant package — and tamper-evident, too.

PRODUCT INTEGRITY makes cans better for:

People

• The canning process kills off bacteria and locks out pathogens, protecting consumers from foodborne illnesses.
• Canned fruits and vegetables are picked at the peak of ripeness and immediately canned, locking in taste, nutrition and freshness.

The Planet

• Nearly 50% of all harvestable food in the United States is thrown out. In fact, food waste is the single largest component of the landfill stream.
• The can minimizes food waste by keeping products fresh.
• Less food is thrown out because less food is spoiled.

Profits

• Food waste costs the U.S. economy more than $1 billion each year.
• Minimizing food spoilage with cans means minimizing loss.
