This National STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering Maths) Day, let’s take a quick look at how fruit is checked for quality before its packed for supermarket shelves. After a preliminary quality inspection, fruit will then go through tech-operated quality sorters and then pass 3 different quality steps in the packing facility:

Step 1: Fruit is inspected for imperfections.
Step 2: Using a penetrometer, our team of quality experts will check the pressure of the fruit, ensuring it has optimal firmness and texture.
Step 3: Fruit will undergo Brix checks. Using a refractometer, the quality team will measure the total dissolved sugar content - the Brix - to ensure fruit is of the highest quality nature can grow.

Once fruit meets all major quality checks, it’s good to be packed for supermarket shelves and for you 🍎🍑
