Mori-Nu

In 1985, Morinaga Nutritional Foods Inc. of Torrance, California began marketing aseptically packaged silken style tofu in the United States under the Mori-Nu brand name. Mori-Nu helped to develop the revolutionary new packaging process that seals in all the wholesome nutrition of tofu in an airtight, shelf-stable package. Thanks to the aseptic packaging, Mori-Nu Tofu remains free from the harmful effects of light, oxygen, and microorganisms without preservatives or irradiation. The package also conveniently requires no refrigeration until opened. This modern packaging system was voted "the #1 food science innovation of the last 50 years" by the prestigious Institute of Food Technologists because it increases nutrient retention and flavour while ensuring food safety.
