Looking forward

dEUp believes it is time for a plant-based revolution, an inescapable change in the face of the immense challenges facing the planet. The fact that there will be 9 billion men and women to feed in tomorrow’s world has made plant-based food an inescabable key

for the well-being of future generations, in terms of both the quantities to be produced and the ways they are produced.

Nature is our most precious asset, and will not wait. We cannot remain blind to the warning signs, we must react. Climate change, soil depletion and biodiversity loss threaten to undermine the balance of nature and in turn that of humanity.

At dEUp, we believe that we must lead the way, offer innovative and pertinent solutions to feed people better while respecting the planet and thereby ensuring the well-being of future generations.

We are committed and are innovating from field to plate to create a better future through plant-based food, because it is our firm belief that nature is our future.

The production process

Field

Our Canned goods circuits begin with nature. Our agricultural partners, who guarantee that the environment is respected, harvest and provide vegetables which strictly respect every detail of our supply charter.

Reception, acceptance

All the analyses and checks aim to ensure the conformity of the vegetables with dEUp’s requirements: taste, size, maturity, colour, etc.

Sorting by ventilation

An air-flow system separates the denser products (seeds) from the lighter ones (leaves, pods).

Stone removal, washing

An air-flow system isolates any stones, shards of glass, and other objects, from the selected vegetables. The vegetables are then washed: this essential operation removes foreign materials (soil, dust) and potential contaminations from the soil.

End trimming

Our machine mechanically trims the tips off all vegetables.

Sizing

Extra-fine, fine, very fine, etc. Certain products, once in the perforated cylinders, are selected based on their size.

Blanching

This operation uses hot water or steam to remove the gases contained in the vegetables, toning down overpowering tastes, and reducing enzymatic degradation.

Canning

The ideal quantity of vegetables must be dosed according to what is stated on the label. We use particularly precise volumetric or weight processes.

Juicing

Juice composed of water, salt and spices is used in most canned products. This reveals the taste of the products, while improving their cooking conditions.

Seaming

Another important step, where cans are sealed using an innovative folding system. A tightening process guarantees watertightness and thus preserves the vegetables. The Best Before Date can then be indicated on the can.

Sterilisation

Any microbes that could render the product unfit for consumption are destroyed. A very high temperature ensures that the vegetables are cooked and preserved.

Storage of blank cans

Once cooled, the cans are stacked and placed on palettes, then stored in warehouses. This is towards the end of the half-day period between the field and the factory.

Labelling

Following the preparation of the order, we proceed to the labelling process. The consumer must be able to find simple and clear information in his language: nutritional value, contents, guidelines, weigh
