The present invention provides a food packaging container (10) for packaging a fluid-exuding and oxygen sensitive food item (5) in a modified atmosphere (4) and a method for packaging a food item (5) in a modified atmosphere (4). The food packaging container (10) includes a permeable film (2) positioned elevated above a bottom (11) of a tray (1) and a plurality of micro-perforations (21) created in the permeable film (2). By placing the food item (5) on the elevated permeable film (2) in contact with the micro-perforations (21), circulation of the modified atmosphere (4) within food packaging container (10) is improved as well as the contact of the food item (5) with the modified atmosphere (4), which leads to a suppression of bacterial growth on the food item (5) and, thus, to an extended shelf life and improved quality of food item (5). |
