As people wind down from their holiday meals, some may have noticed some of their casseroles and soups having fresher and more vibrant tastes.  This can be attributed, in part, to a market shift towards aseptic packaging of shelf-stable foods.

As discussed in this recent article, consumer demand for aseptically packaged soup has been skyrocketing, growing 26% just in the past year.  As opposed to traditional can or jar methods, aseptic packaging methods allow for shorter processing time of the packaged foods, which in turn results in a more flavorful product.
