cannery

A cannery is a facility where food products like fruits, vegetables, seafood, and meats are prepared and preserved through processes such as canning, freezing, or packaging. The primary goal is to extend the shelf life of these foods while maintaining their quality and safety. In canning, food is placed in sealed containers, typically glass jars or metal cans, and then heated to kill bacteria and other microorganisms. This method allows foods to be stored for long periods without refrigeration, making them convenient and accessible for consumers. Canneries play a crucial role in food preservation, supply chain efficiency, and reducing waste.
