US Patent:

5866184, Feb 2, 1999

Filed:

Mar 12, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/815563

Inventors:

Michael P. Gorlich - Hilton Head Island SC
Robert F. McPherson - Hilton Head Island SC
Robert C. James - Naples FL

Assignee:

World Class Packaging Systems, Inc. - Hilton Head Island SC

International Classification:

B65D 8500

US Classification:

426396

Abstract:

A package is capable of enclosing a food product in two different gaseous atmospheres at different times. Initially the food product may be packaged in a low oxygen atmosphere in order to prolong the shelf life of the product. When it is time to sell the product for example, it may be desirable to supply oxygen to the food product. In the case of red meats, the oxygenation process causes the meat to turn a bright red color. The package includes a tray covered by a film with a plurality of apertures formed in the tray. The apertures are covered by a resealable gas impermiable tape which can be removed to allow air ingress and then resealed to protect the integrity of the tray contents.

In the case of red meats, the oxygenation process causes the meat to turn a bright red color. The package includes a tray covered by a film with a plurality of apertures formed in the tray. The package may be maintained at a pressure below atmospheric pressure. The apertures are covered by a bacterial barrier layer covered by resealable tape which can be removed to allow air ingress and then resealed to protect the integrity of the tray contents.
