Prepared food products manufactured by food processing companies play an important role in many restaurants, where every laborer is not a chef, and meals have to be consistently good and served quickly. Additionally, foods provided in shelf-stable packages offer advantages, including safe handling, compact storage, higher yields, increased efficiency of labor and lower waste disposal costs.
To assist in the development of these products, R&D staffs can look to Sealed Air’s Cryovac® Flavour Mark™ technology, which provides a durable, flexible pouch for aseptic and retorted products, such as soups, salad dressings, condiments and side dishes. In another instance, the Cryovac® Oven Ease™ ovenable bag permits pre-seasoned foods, such as hams, roasts, whole turkeys, etc., to be cooked inside the same material in which they are packaged. This reduces prep time, clean-up and helps reduce waste.
