Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0116394A1] A method of packaging fresh meat is disclosed in which a first web of material is formed into a receptacle to receive the fresh meat and the receptacle is sealed with a second web of material. The meat is subjected to a vacuum treatment in the receptacle and sealing is effected at reduced pressure. At least one of the webs of material is made of a material permeable to oxygen which can flow into the package, and at least one of the webs of material is transparent so that the contents can be viewed. One of the webs may be both transparent and permeable to oxygen. Ionomeric polymers and polymethyl pentene are disclosed as preferred oxygen-permeable materials which are also transparent.
