NatureSeal, Inc. develops technologies to preserve the natural quality of fresh-cut produce. Originating from a collaborative effort with the USDA Agricultural Research Service, its products aim to maintain freshness after produce is cut. Among its offerings is the First Step + line, which provides an alternative to chlorine-based prewashes, along with various formulations that extend shelf life and preserve taste and color, including a guacamole formulation. The company serves three principal markets: fresh produce processing, foodservice, and retail. Based in Fairfield, Connecticut, NatureSeal operates as a subsidiary of Mantrose-Haeuser Co., Inc., a Westport-based firm with a history spanning more than 100 years.
