Typical Applications

◊ Fillets ◊ Marinated products ◊ Parts ◊ Tenders ◊ Whole birds for rotisserie ◊

Benefits  

• Extends shelf-life by reducing oxygen and gas-flushing with CO2 to reduce bacterial growth

• Minimizes contamination and pilferage (sealed bags)

Process

• May be vacuum packed, but is usually gas-flushed with CO2

• The CO2 is absorbed into the outer surfaces of the meat, which retards bacterial growth

Packaging Film  

• In the U.S. and Canadian markets, co-extrusions of high-density/low-density polyethylene are used

• Elsewhere, PA/PE (nylon/low-density polyethylene) is often used

Typical Package Sizes  

• 5-10 lb. bags of parts for food service use.  May be 'master-packed' with multiple bags per box

• 40-70 lb. whole-bird or parts bags/boxes

• Multiple case-ready over-wrapped trays in a master bag/box
