(54) A method for the packaging of meat


(57) A method for packaging of meat so that with the aid of pressurised carbon dioxide in the packaging (1) its preservation time is lengthened. The excess pressure of the carbon dioxide existing in the package at the beginning is discharged through its valve (2). The excess pressure is achieved by adding a sufficient amount of carbon dioxide ice into the package. The excess pressure is most suitably held in the package over a period of 0, 5 - 1,0 hours.
