Does Cortas use soldered cans?
No. Cortas packages its products in cans that are safely welded, not soldered, and sealed hermetically. Cans are internally lined with foodgrade lacquer that prevent any reaction between food and cans metal. This is in accordance with international standards. Are canned foods as good for you as fresh and frozen? Results from a nutrition study conducted in 2000 by the University of Massachusetts (UMass) found that recipes using canned ingredients are similar in nutritional value and sensory perception to those made with fresh and frozen ingredients. According to the findings, the ingredients chosen, regardless if they are in the fresh, frozen or canned form, are what really determine a recipe’s nutrient content. Recipes prepared with canned foods were judged favorably on taste, appearance, aroma and texture when compared to their fresh and frozen counterparts.
