Food Processing

• Slaughtering and milking are examples of primary food processing, which involves preparing food for distribution and sale.
• A criticism of tertiary food processing is that it can lead to a loss of nutrients and flavour in the final product.

Purpose of Secondary Food Processing

• The purpose of secondary food processing is to transform primary products into intermediate goods, such as canning, freezing, and dehydrating, to increase their shelf life and make them more convenient for consumption.
