A wash and an ice that do more than clean and cool.
Spoilage costs more than you think.
From processing to retail, fresh food is lost at every step. Current methods aren’t enough — and they come with trade-offs.
Spoilage losses in seafood processing — industry average 20–35% waste pre-retail
Reliance on chlorine and chemical washes increasingly restricted by EU/UK regulation
Cold-chain interruptions causing accelerated spoilage on fresh and chilled foods
Retailer pressure for clean-label, preservative-free product
Two simple steps. A longer journey for your product.

- FreshXtend Ice delivers sustained antimicrobial protection throughout the cold chain as it melts
- Both are classified as processing aids — no label declaration required
- Works across fresh fish, shellfish, poultry and cut produce
