The
federal agriculture department is giving Greenhouse Juice Co. of Mississauga $6.3
million.
It’s
what the feds call a “repayable investment” to develop a cold pasteurization
system for its organic fruit and vegetable juices.
The
company squeezes fruits and vegetables with a hydraulic press to harvest
juices, an approach called “cold pressing”.
This
technology was supposed to lead to high-value canola from a new plant in
Manitoba, but investor Helmut Sieber’s empire. based in Kincardine, fell into
bankruptcy before it could open.
