Abstract (en)

A method for protecting the contents of a box, tray or similar packing that is used for temporary storage of meat pieces from completely or partially cut up carcasses in a slaughterhouse against contamination coming from above which by dripping or dropping can contaminate and/or infect the contents of the packing, and which includes mounting of a removable lid over the opening of the packing, the removable lid including a flexible sheet (1), wherein the lid along its periphery is provided with an elastic band which e.g. is drawn in a drawstring hem formed along the periphery of the flexible sheet (1) or which is welded or sewn on along the periphery of the flexible sheet. The flexible lid (A) will automatically be adapted to the container (B) when put on and may easily be removed entirely or partially again as the rubber band along the outer free edge of the lid holds the lid (A) onto the container (B). The lid (B) is particularly suited for disposable applications and inexpensive in use. Moreover, it is possible to be safeguarded against contamination of the content coming from above into the boxes transported around in the facility, e.g. on a conveyor belt.
