What Is a Food Freshness System and Which Fridges Have Them?

Rapid changes in temperature such as summer’s warmer climate or winter's impending drop can result in food spoiling quickly, but a fridge with an advanced food freshness system can help combat this. That’s because food freshness systems use technology to maintain an optimal temperature, humidity and airflow to keep food fresher for longer. What could be better for your fruit, veg and meat?

Many modern, leading refrigerator brands have unique food freshness features, which is why we’ve put together this guide on what fridges have them and what to look out for.

Bosch's VitaFresh® technology can maintain food freshness for up to three times longer than normal, according to Bosch. It does this by precisely controlling humidity and temperature levels within areas of the fridge, such as their transparent VitaFresh® drawers. Various models also feature MultiAirFlow™ (or EcoAirFlow) for air distribution and FreshProtect® filters to absorb ethylene gas, slowing down the ripening of produce​.

Several Samsung fridges and fridge freezers provide food freshness systems via their ‘Family Hub’ technology. This does a multitude of things from a panel on the fridge door, from viewing food used inside, family members opening the door to use something, and most importantly customising the temperatures in different zones. Through viewing and regulating the temperature in specific areas of the fridge, you can provide the ideal storage conditions to prolong the life of fruit, meat, dairy and more.

To help keep food fresh, we have several Samsung fridge freezers available at Webbs.

VitaminCare+ in Blomberg fridges is an innovative technology designed to preserve the vitamins and nutrients in fruit and vegetables. Blomberg’s food freshness system makes use of LEDs to simulate the sun’s natural 24-hour light cycle, which helps maintain the freshness of produce. These are often integrated into their frost-free combi freezers and tall larder fridges, which can work with other food freshness tech such as dual cooling systems to make sure food stays fresher for longer.

We have plenty of Blomberg fridges available with VitaminCare+ to take a look at.

Liebherr’s food freshness system is called BioFresh, which makes use of temperature controlled compartments to create the ideal environment for your stored food. These compartments typically maintain a temperature just above 0°C to keep food cool, but have humidity options such as HydroSafe and DrySafe designed for different types of food. Some models even have BioFresh Professional to keep fruit and veg safe with a protective layer of mist, or additional options for seafood.
