Food Safety First!Anyong Invest 600 Million to Build World-Class Aquatic Product Processing Plant
Anyong Biotechnology, which was invested by Topco Scientific in response to food safety crises, aims to build a comprehensive food safety system incorporating production and sale. It spent NTD 600 million (USD 19.88 million) to ensure that the system abides by the high standards of the technology industry. Production lines in Anyong’s world-class seafood processing plants in Mituo, Kaohsiung, are certified by ISO22000 and HACCP as high quality. Each batch of products is strictly examined by the AnyongFresh food safety center, imposing stringent management from farm to table. In order to duly preserve the freshness and rich flavors of Taiwanese products, Anyong Biotechnology introduced CAS, Cells Alive System, from Japan. The technology, awarded as one of the three major innovations in Japan in 2008, can fully preserve the nutrition and freshness of ingredients and has no parallel in market. Giant groupers supplied by Anyong, won the Excellent Aquatic Award presented by the Fisheries Agency for two consecutive years based on its outstanding quality.
The New Mituo Plant is expected to be completed by Q1 2018. This plant will provide a more meticulous production environment, advanced production facilities, professionally-trained staff, aquatic food processing technology of the highest standard to customers at home and abroad. Anyong will always partner with clients to jointly enhance food quality and safety.
Hundred tons with the capacity for automated whole fish slicing Contributing to stability and prosperity of the fishing industry in Southern Taiwan
The three-story new plant, built by Anyong Biotechnology, covers an area of 1000 ping (3306 square meters) with floor areas totaling 1800 ping (5950 square meters). It will have monthly capacity of over one hundred tons in both scaled, gilled and gutted whole fish and sliced frozen products, contributing to the stability and prosperity of the fishing industry in Southern Taiwan. By contracting with quality farmers, the company can impose quality control throughout the production line, including hatching, feeding and breeding, to reassure the consumers of product quality. In addition to complying with ISO22000 and HACCP standards, the New Mituo Plant also introduces frozen food processing technology that incorporates the specification of a clean room. The process is maintained in a constant temperature and controlled by micro-computers, and exclusively applies the CAS from Japan. Compared with ordinary flash freezing technology, the New Mituo Plant’s process can guarantee 100% preservation of freshness and nutrition, so that food materials or meat can be tender, lustrous and juicy after being unfrozen. To ensure the safety of products, a food safety center is established in the plant to perform aerobic plate counts and test residues of antibiotics and other drugs.
Automated low-temperature sterilization No chemical operation, ensuring sustainability
The New Mituo Plant automates its production process completely. It applies RO filtered water to process the food materials, acidic water for cleansing and alkaline water for production processes. Water temperature in working areas is kept between 4°C and 7°C to ensure freshness and inhibit bacterial growth, and natural seawater is drawn and applied during processing. The sterilization process operates mainly based on an ozone system instead of chemical methods, lowering the chance of chemical elements remaining in the food materials. The acidic water kills bacteria 80 times more efficiently than ordinary sterilization liquids, does not harm human bodies or the environment and does not remain in the food. It is safe and causes zero pollution.
Exclusive in Taiwan 1st large-scale CAS storage warehouse in Asia
The CAS ultralow temperature storage warehouse at the New Mituo Plant is the 3rd large-scale CAS storage warehouse in the world after those in France and Germany, and the 1st in Asia. It is embedded with 680 CAS oscillation alignment components. -25°C freezing warehouses can preserve around 500 pallets (450 tons) of aquatic products and -50°C freezing warehouses can preserve around 80 pallets (60 tons).
CAS is a revolutionary Japanese invention. In 2008, the technology was awarded a Japanese grand prix in innovation, and many other honors by other countries. By applying this preservation technology to food without any chemical additives, Anyong Biotechnology can retain 100% freshness, nutrition and flavor of the food materials so that they taste like freshly prepared after being unfrozen. The freezing center keeps the temperature under -50°C. When the water in the food materials is passing through the zone of ice crystal formation, the molecules are stilling vibrating because of the magnetic fields and low-frequency technology, so to avoid diminishing flavor due to damage of cell membranes by ice crystals.
Establish a microorganism lab as well as a test and analysis lab
The New Mituo Plant contains the Anyong Food Safety Lab and implements a production and quality control system that incorporates production and sales, covering the whole process from farm to table. Since the initiation of the lab, aerobic plate count, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and VBN tests are performed everyday, along with a rapid screening of drug residues, specifically for malachite green, nitrofurans and a variety of antibiotics. In addition, a neutral third party institute is commissioned to conduct periodic examinations, such as SGS. Currently, the lab possesses testing ability for over 60 food related items, and continues to actively develop test items.
Gradually acquire world-class food certificates Promote Taiwanese food in the international market
Anyong Biotechnology now provides services in contracted aquatic product processing, such as freezing and preservations; retailing and whole sale of aquatic products, contracted procurement of raw materials, trade and exporting. In the future, the company will continue to develop businesses in agricultural and animal product processing, and gradually acquire world food certificates, such as the Halal certificate. At the same time, the company will actively explore overseas markets and export Taiwanese local flavors to Japan, the European Union, and the Middle East to promote Taiwan’s delicious “food” power.
