Research has found that both sunlight and fluorescent light have a degrading effect on milk.  Flavor is adversely affected and vitamin content, including Vitamins A, B6, and C, is significantly diminished.  Color enhanced plastic bottles can block both sunlight and fluorescent light.  They provide substantially more protection than uncolored plastic bottles.

An extension of ColorGuard™, new Ferro Light Blocker color concentrates offer a cost-effective method to package light-sensitive retort products.  Five pastel shades are available in concentrates that are heat stable and meet FDA standards for direct food contact at retort temperatures.  they also maintain SARA 313 regulation status.

Ferro can help you move into the ColorGuard™ era with assistance in color formulation, blending recommendations, equipment advice, and marketing assistance.
