The present invention provides a process for packing and treating mussels or other bivalve seafood, the process comprising arranging the bivalves in at least one layer in a flexible container; at least partially evacuating the container such that the container is drawn tightly around the bivalves; heating the bivalves and container for sufficient time and at sufficient temperature to at least partially cook the bivalves; characterized in that the container is formed from a lower layer and an upper layer of plastics material, and the upper layer is positioned over and secured to the lower layer after the bivalves have been arranged in the at least one layer on the lower layer, wherein, the upper and lower layers of plastics material comprise a plastics sheet having a thickness of 180-210 microns; the container is evacuated to a reduced pressure between approximately 30 û 70 mBar, the bivalves and container are heated at approximately 90 - 100 degrees c in a steam oven for a time period of between 340 û 500 seconds, to fully cook the bivalves. <Figure 2> |
