Global packaging supplier, Advanta, has launched a unique skin pack aluminium poultry tray and film combination to tackle food wastage associated with the US poultry industry, which is the world’s largest producer of poultry meat.
The new packaging solution was officially launched on 10 June at the International Dairy Deli Bakery Association (IDDBA) 2018, in New Orleans, following a completion of a successful trial.
Aimed at poultry processors, the packaging combines the convenience of chicken-shaped aluminium foil tray, and shelf-life extension to minimize the potential for food waste.
According to Advanta, skin pack is an excellent alternative to standard modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).
The new skin pack aluminium tray can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to 400°C, remaining shatterproof while frozen and rigid while in the oven. The tray is also 100% recyclable, providing a more environmentally friendly option as opposed to plastic tray alternatives.
