You probably won’t believe me but my family’s business is pallets and we repair and make new trays that the tomatoes go on and get dried for this company. The name of this company is valley sun products

good day, can you contact this company? We also do the dried tomato business. We produce about 100 tons of dried tomatoes per year. I would be very pleased if you could provide communication with this company in return for a certain commission. I am writing from Turkey.

Usually, people cover their trays when sun drying. How do they not get any insect problems with the tomato trays out in the open 9-14 days at the drying yard? Do they not have flies in California? Or do they do pest control such as regular fogging or insecticide spraying?

You can get sun dried tomatoes for £10 per kg delivered from the internet which is cheaper than fresh because 90% of fresh tomatoes is the water content. Dried tomatoes can be 8x the cost per weight and still be the same price per tomato. Sun dried tomatoes can be picked when they are riper because they do not need to travel before being preserved when drying. So it is possible to get better quality tomatoes for cheaper in a more concentrated flavour when choosing them dried.

Those conveyors are moving really fast and the workers have to keep up, standing and leaning in an awkward position for hours at a time. All of them wearing waist support belts. This is the reality of factory processed food. Once you see you can't unsee, once you know you can't unknow. I'm off to look for videos on how to dry my own tomatoes in the sun this summer. Thank you for showing this video.
@rightgirlwrongplanet6 жыл бұрын
Those workers might be happy to be employed. Standing is what doctors do for most hours of the day too. If they have repetitive strain injury then there may be a work policy to address that. They are wearing personal protective equipment. Their conditions are much better and appear safer than many third world countries.

I'd be more concerned that sulphur dioxide is being gassed onto the tomatoes. Artificial chemicals added to natural food. I have no idea what effect sulphur dioxide has when humans consume it.

Yours is a different argument regarding fair market price which is commensurate with skills, experience and qualifications.

My point was regarding working conditions which is what the original poster raised.

I have SO many questions after watching this. How does the drying co. mitigate the bacterial growth on the wooden treys? How does the drying co. control the inevitable contamination levels coming from insects landing and feeding on these open-air drying tomatoes? How much “sanitation-rinse chemicals” remain on the completed product as I noticed they were sprayed again after being cut in half? Often you find SD tomatoes in stores as a canned product suspended in an oil. That being said, what is the process there? Basic canning procedure requires heat so would that indicate that these would be cooked after being sun-dried? You may not have these answers but I would be interested in learning more.

I'm all for some good ol mass production and also the easiest way to do something but a few things bother me here... Now I am aware of the allotted foreign material per volume allowed by the FDA, but how do they keep animals from contaminating such large areas of open ready to read food? Like birds flying over, mice and lizards crawling around em, and of coarse all of the waste they indiscriminately leave behind? This only comes to m mind because it doesn't seem that the majority of the trays are elevated.
