Clearly Clean Products LLC, introduces what is perhaps the world’s first and only recyclable MAP (Modified Atmosphere Package) tray for meat, poultry, entrées and kebobs.
Modified-atmosphere packaging containing 80% oxygen and 20% carbon dioxide (HiOx-MAP) is widely used in fresh beef at retail to delay discoloration and hold cherry-red color of beef for a longer time.
FreshCase packaging—a new material technology from Curwood for case-ready meats—delivers the superior flavor, quality and extended shelf life of vacuum packaging; the fresh red color consumers prefer; and cost advantages that help processors and retailers maintain critical profit margins.
Modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) technologies have the ability to provide incentives and opportunities for processors and retailers to positively affect their bottom line. However, product presentation as well as consumer acceptance are the primary factors that affect final decisions on packaging selection.
