Abstract (en)

A process is disclosed for packaging a food product in a container (1) formed of or lined with a heat-resistant thermoplastics. The container is closed by sealing to the container a lidding material (12) which is permeable to water and gas but impermeable to bacteria, such as so-called "medical paper". The food product can then be sterilized or pasteurised by heat-treatment and the lidding material is then covered by a barrier layer which is impermeable to moisture or permits controlled moisture permeability. The lidding material and barrier material are applied by heat-sealing techniques and the final package may be irradiated to sterilize the head space between the lidding and barrier layers.
