Gerber graduates lil entrees?
I bought the macaroni and cheese with peas and carrots on the side, and I started to think, what do they put in these to make the cheese, and veggies not require refrigeration? The package says there are no preservatives added.
I would guess [not having bought this stuff]
“Aseptic processing is the process by which a sterile (aseptic) product (typically food or pharmaceutical) is packaged in a sterile container in a way which maintains sterility.
Sterility is achieved with a flash-heating process (temperature between 195° and 295°F (91° to 146°C)),[1] which retains more nutrients and uses less energy than conventional sterilization techniques such as retort or hot-fill canning. Aseptic food preservation methods allow processed food to keep for long periods of time without preservatives, as long as they are not opened.”
