Part 7/8:
During the filling process, precision machines carefully allocate kernels into each can, leaving space at the top for expansion during heat processing. Once filled and sealed, the cans are subjected to a high-temperature sterilization process intended to destroy any remaining microorganisms, thereby ensuring the canned corn’s shelf life of 2 to 5 years.
Final Quality Assurance
After sterilization, the cans undergo a cooling process to stabilize their contents against prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Quality checks are critical at this stage, with technicians assessing nutritional content, kernel structure, freshness, and microbiological safety to ensure adherence to food safety and quality standards.
