Saudi Arabia-based producer of dairy products and juices Al Rabie Saudi Foods has upgraded its Awal Qatfa ready-to-eat line with new carton packaging.

The company has adopted new technology for the packaging which enables food products such as beans, vegetables and soups to remain shelf-stable for up to two years.

Al Rabie CEO Monther Al Harthi said that Awal Qatfa is a selected product to focus the initial stages of the company’s regional growth agenda and it offers a broad collection of high-quality ready-to-eat foodstuffs that are free of preservatives and artificial coloring.

Earlier in 2006, Awal Qatfa range of ready-to-eat products was introduced using Tetra Re-Cart packaging.
