Production Steps
We produce our tomato ketchup using a meticulous and hygienic production process that ensures rich flavor, excellent texture, and world-class quality standards at every stage. Here is how we produce this excellent product:
- Selecting Premium Tomatoes
We harvest fully ripe, high-quality tomatoes at the peak of freshness. Fully automated systems then wash these tomatoes. Workers then inspect and sort them to remove unripe, spoiled, or poor-quality tomatoes. - Tomato Processing & Pulping
Automatic systems chop the tomatoes and then heat them to break down their cell walls and release the natural juices. They then pass the cooked tomatoes through fine sieves to remove the seeds and skin, which creates a smooth tomato puree. - Cooking & Reduction
The puree is then slowly cooked in special stainless steel containers until it is completely thick.
Halfway through cooking, precise amounts of vinegar, sugar, salt and other natural spices are added. This combination gives it a mild and balanced sweet and spicy flavor. The mixture is then simmered for a few more hours until it reaches the ideal, final consistency. - Homogenization & Quality Control
Machines pass the thickened ketchup through a homogenizer system to achieve a smooth consistency without any particles or lumps. Quality control staff also subject it to careful checks to ensure its taste, color, pH level, and viscosity meet standards and approve it. - Pasteurization & Packaging
Royal Foods flash-pasteurizes ketchup to kill bacteria while maintaining its freshness. Depending on the packaging type, we fill it into hot or pre-sterilized packages to preserve the product's shelf life. We then seal the packages in a completely hygienic manner to prevent contamination. - Labeling & Storage
After packaging, machines label the packages with information such as weight, production date, expiration date, and ingredient list. Finally, workers store the products in warehouses with controlled and standardized temperatures until distribution.
