International Dispensing Corporation (IDC) and TRU Aseptics announced their collaboration to market The Answer® aseptic dispensing system for UHT beverages throughout North America. TRU Aseptics, a contract beverage co-packer based in Beloit, Wisconsin, delivers safe, high-quality, shelf-stable products that do not require refrigeration or preservatives and can be stored and distributed at ambient temperatures. Its 65,000 square foot facility is designed to run both low and high-acid products. Just recently, its new high-speed Alfa Laval aseptic BIB (Bag-in-Box) filler was validated by an FDA Processing Authority to run The Answer® for low-acid UHT products and TRU Aseptics is now ready to use The Answer® for all its customers. IDC has created, patented, and commercialized The Answer®, the world’s only aseptic tap that can safely dispense UHT liquids from a large-format (3-25 liter) flexible package while continuing to preserve the sterility of the package’s remaining contents for an extended period of time (weeks/months) without refrigeration or preservatives.
