Cost Savings
Saving Food = Saving Money
Every foodservice professional knows how quickly food ages, losing its appetite appeal. This results in perfectly edible food getting
thrown out—along with your profit margin. What if there were a simple way to extend freshness and improve food quality, wideningthat freshness window and resulting in better food, reduced waste, happier customers and higher profits?
Well, good news—now there is. By using just TREHA® you can extend the marketable moments for a full range of foods. TREHA® notonly extends freshness for bakery, beverages, dairy, dressings and sauces, fruits and vegetables, jams and jellies, grains, fish andmeats, snack foods, sweets and soups, in many cases, it even increases their yield. Here are some handy examples of what you can
expect to see when you cook with TREHA®.

BREAD – Sandwich Loaf

sushi vinegar without TREHA®) is extended by approximately 24 hours.
