Microbial spoilage is often a major factor affecting the shelf life of baked products, those with high water activity levels, like tortillas, can be especially susceptible to mold. Tortilla manufacturers must manage the moisture of their products to balance proper texture and shelf stability. Mold inhibitors can help control microbial spoilage and thus, lengthen shelf life.

Our SHIELD® liquid mold inhibitors are blends of active ingredients that can control microbes, preventing spoilage and mold growth in tortillas. In addition, our TillaPack™ batch packs are formulated to help improve textural quality and prevent mold growth, all in one easy-to-add package.
