IceFresh - New thawing technology for more sustainable production and distribution of salmon products
The project aims to develop a gentle thawing method for salmon using a newly patented technology.
Stricter requirements to reduce environmental footprint, CO₂ emissions, and the use of EPS (Styrofoam) mean that Norwegian salmon producers need new solutions for processing, transport, and distribution. Using the new IceFresh thawing method, Hofseth aims to offer the U.S. market a sustainable product based on frozen salmon fillets with quality equal to or better than fresh fillets.
The innovation is expected to deliver several benefits, including reduced environmental impact, more consistent product quality, longer shelf life, and lower food waste in retail stores.
