•Case Study: The 'Soups On' At Del Monte Foods
By Schenck AccuRate
Colored leaves and crisp temperatures are clear indications that Fall and "soup season" have arrived. For Del Monte in Mendota, IL the season started a lot earlier when plans were approved for a new plant to produce canned soups that would appear on grocery store shelves under more than 50 different brand names.
The starch prep area or "starch kitchen" as it's called, forms the heart of the soup production process. It is essentially responsible for producing the soup base from a combination of dry and wet ingredients including cracker meal, cake flour, brine, tomato paste, corn syrup and spices. The metered major ingredients and pre-weighed minors are added to water and mixed to form the soup base. The base, combined with various vegetables and meats is then cooked to form a variety of final soup products.
