MEDINA, Ohio – Frequently recognized for excellence and innovation in refrigerated food processing, Sandridge Food Corporation today announced the availability of an executive white paper entitled, “A Focus on Freshness.” The white paper takes an objective look at the challenges facing both processors and refrigerated foods buyers at retail grocery and foodservice operations, and provides best practices for mastering those challenges.

“Whether you’re a refrigerated food processor or buyer for a retail or foodservice chain, fresh food that tastes great and pleases your customers is the holy grail.
