    PLUS knew it needed to meet its customers’ needs for fresh food. Meat discoloration was a significant part of the problem, an issue that resulted in waste and, by extension, a loss of profit. Philips supplied Fresh food LED lighting recipe Rose, which reduces discoloration and presents meat as customers want to see it.

    Customer challenge


    The discoloration of sliced meat is not a quality issue but a cosmetic problem. Philips Lighting conducted research in both a lab and in an in-store field test, and performed tests with a popular meat supplier. The conclusion was that both the level of discoloration and the acceptance of it differs per type of meat, and that light (light level and light spectrum, in particular) were shown to be key parameters in the presentation of ultra-fresh food.

     

    The fresh food recipes enhance food presentation and reduce the psychological gap between the actual colors of produce that naturally discolor, and the much more saturated colors people have in mind when they think of fresh products. They also help to reduce food waste by emitting the right color temperatures to slow down the discoloration of sliced meat.

    The right lighting

     

    Philips Lighting’s research led to the formulation of LED Rose: the optimal ‘light recipe’ for illuminating sliced meat. PLUS chose LED recipe Rose to illuminate meat department. It provides the perfect amount of light to make the meat look highly appealing, while reducing discoloration.

     

    The concept and pilot were very successful, both in terms of sales and customer satisfaction. Not only does PLUS plan on applying LED Rose in all its new stores, but will take it one step further by optimizing the lighting in all its fresh food departments in which food is affected by discoloration, to support the preservation of fresh produce and present it in the best way possible.

    Meat Discoloration

     

    Discolored meat is less appetizing to customers, and the more light you shine on it, the quicker its appearance degrades. But on the other hand, produce displayed on shadowy shelving is unlikely to catch a customer’s eye. A fresh solution is finally here.
