    For the first time in Greece, a technology for accurate measurement of salad shelf life and their processing according to the FEFO method (First Expired, First Out) has been developed. After extensive research, technology has been developed that measures the shelf life of each lot of raw material on the day of harvest. This innovative method allows the company to pack products according to their expected shelf life and not according to the day of harvest. It also allows quality degradation to be recorded timely, so that we can reject undesired lots before they reach the market.
