Preparation and packaging
Tasty Bite meals are sealed in a multi-layer retort pouch and have a shelf life of up to 18 months. During the manufacturing process, the pouches are filled with food, sealed, and cooked in a retort oven under high temperature and pressure.
Tasty Bite products are manufactured at its Bhandgaon plant in India. The vegetables used are partially grown on a private farm owned and managed by the company, though the rest of the vegetables are procured through traders from local markets.
