Indian Curries Are Now Fresher and Tastier MTR Foods is a trusted name in India, with an 85-year heritage that serves authentic In- dian vegetarian food across the world. Way back in the 1990s, MTR pioneered the tech- nology of keeping Indian food products shelf stable at room temperature – a tech- nology that it jointly developed with the Defence Food Research Laboratory. This technology revolutionized the convenience food industry by allowing stores to offer au- thentic Indian curries, rice and soups in shelf-stable packs to consumers across the world – foods that were otherwise consid- ered a delicacy and available only in spe- cialized restaurants. MTR has always strived to enhance the Indian food experience for its consumers. All of the company's products are made with 100 percent natural ingre- dients and are free from any added preservatives or artificial color. In recent years, keeping in mind the heightened health awareness of consumers, MTR has ensured that it also offers products that are free from gluten, trans-fat and MSG. As taste and flavor are key to Indian food, MTR has constantly worked toward improving its recipes as well as its process- ing technology, keeping in mind the dual objective of quality and food safety. With a recent development in ther- mal processing technology, MTR now ensures that there is minimal loss of flavor and taste during its thermal processing, which means that delicate prod- ucts like cottage cheese remain as soft as they are fresh. Look for MTR products in your neighbor- hood store and enjoy the experience of au- thentic Indian delicacies. For more information, stop by booth #3343 or visit www.mtrfoods.com.
