Flair S1 is the first product in the company’s new range of postharvest solutions to be launched
Fresh Formulaics will introduce its inaugural product, Flair S1, at this week’s Fruit Logistica. The all-in-one solution is designed to improve the shelf-life, quality, and appearance of fresh produce.
“Flair S1 represents a significant breakthrough in plant-based, post-harvest solutions. It offers a shelf-life extension with shine that is safer, smarter, and a more effective alternative to conventional produce waxes,” the company said.
“Its proven commercial performance, compared to traditional waxes and resins, delivers a longer-lasting shine and superior firmness retention while creating stronger operational efficiencies and helping suppliers adapt to changing consumer and regulatory demands.”
According to the company, benefits of the vegan-certified product include a longer-lasting shine; no MRLs, elimination of plastic use, the reduction or elimination of heat drying, fewer treatment steps and higher fruit throughput.
“Flair S1 is a breakthrough change for the produce industry, transforming the supply chain with smarter, more effective solutions that are plant-based,” said Denise Junqueiro, vice president of marketing. “We’re thrilled to provide suppliers with a product that elevates the quality and appearance of produce to meet the growing retail and market demands, while helping them achieve their sustainability goals.”
Flair S1 also allows suppliers to consolidate treatment steps, process fruit faster, and eliminate the need for fruit tempering–cutting energy consumption and operational costs.
