The High Pressure Certification Program is a non-profit created by a number of food & beverage industry leaders who work to provide better, healthier food options to the consumers of today. The goal is to lead, facilitate and promote industry standardization, user education and consumer awareness of High Pressure Technology.
Fresh un-cooked salsas, salad dressings, Gazpacho, fresh tomato sauces, guacamole, pice de gallo, dairy based dressings, hummus, and tabbouleh are an excellent example of the use of High Pressure Technology.

Wet Salads, also known as deli salads, include a combination of ingredients which could be carbohydrates (i.e. vegetables, fruits and/or starches from pasta, grains, legumes and lentils), fats (i.e. nuts, seeds and dressing components); and proteins (i.e. meat, tofu, seafood and meat analog substitute).
