Fruitress is a pioneering Canadian food-tech company dedicated to extending the freshness of produce from harvest to consumer through innovative solutions. Specializing in clean-label, plant-based edible coatings, Fruitress provides a breathable micro-layer that protects fruits and vegetables during storage and transportation. This technology effectively slows natural respiration, moisture loss, and surface oxidation, enabling produce to stay fresh for an additional 5 to 14 days without altering its natural appearance, taste, or aroma.

Founded by experts in food science, supply chain management, and sustainable product development, Fruitress is committed to addressing the critical issue of post-harvest food waste. With operations centered in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, the company collaborates closely with local growers and distributors to deliver scalable solutions that seamlessly integrate into current packing and distribution processes. As Fruitress expands its global reach, its vision is to establish a standard in clean-label produce preservation, ultimately helping to reduce waste and enhance food availability worldwide while promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
