Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1669303A1] The present invention relates to a retort food pouch which, when constituted of materials provided with characteristics demanded of retort food pouches, is capable of opening appropriately, and of appropriately affixing to another container as a pour spout when contents are transferred. The retort food pouch of the present invention is closed by an upper heat seal portion, a lower heat seal portion, and a side heat seal portion, and includes a notch portion formed to open toward a side edge on a top portion of the side heat seal portion so as to form a content pour spout at a cutting section where a corner portion between said notch portion and the upper heat seal portion is cut, and said notch portion comprises an approximately rectangular main body, opening toward the side edge, and an extended portion continuously extending from a lower side section of said main body portion; said extended portion is constituted to receive an upper edge portion of a wall forming the mouth of another container into which the retort food is to be transferred, and extends along its axial line in a direction approximately perpendicular to the side edge; and a precut is formed to extend from the main body portion toward the upper edge at an angle of 20-80 degrees with respect to the side edge, with said cutting performed along said precut.
