What is an IRD treatment?

One of the validated Food Safety treatments that we use on site to eliminate pathogens (Salmonella, E.Coli) is our IRD – Ifra Red Drum. This machine uses infra-red light to heat the material evenly and achieves a > 5-log reduction of pathogens.


This infra-red heat treatment is not a irradiation treatment as irradiated materials are not allowed in organic supply chains.
This state-of-the-art infra-red technology offers a gentle but effective treatment that preserves more natural colors and essential oils than traditional heat treatments, resulting in a superior flavor profile and optimal visual quality for your products.
