Faerch Plast claims to have launched world's first ovenable CPET skin pack
Faerch Plast worked with ABP Bemis Flexible Packaging to develop a lightweight ovenable pack that has "significant barrier and strength properties" and delivers major benefits for processor, retailer and consumer. The company reported that, along with ease of cooking, the packaging also helps prevent the spread of bacteria such as campylobacter as consumers do not need to hold raw meat.
Joe Iannidinardo, managing director at Faerch Plast UK, said: "These ovenable skin packs are truly revolutionary. With the special SkinCOOK topweb from Bemis Flexible Packaging, it means they can be cooked from chilled or frozen without being unwrapped in any way.
"The packs also offer enhanced consumer appeal, shelf space efficiency and maximum protection to products during transit and in-store. Cooking time is reduced by up to 20% for a conventional oven and 40% for microwaves and there are no unsightly meat juices on show. Plus there is significant shelf-life improvement, which helps reduce food waste."
