A pouch (10) for packaging a load of pieces, the pouch (10) being fabricated of sheets (11, 12) of plastic film interconnected by gussets (14, 15) whereby the pouch (10) is expandable to accommodate the load. A tear line (L) defines a strip (16) functioning as a tear-off seal (16) in which the sheets (11, 12) are bonded together to seal the pouch (10). Attached to the inner surfaces of the sheets (11, 12) at corresponding positions adjacent the tear line (L) are male (17) and female (18) tape components of a reclosable plastic zipper which becomes accessible to a user only after the seal (16) has been torn off the pouch (10). Thus, when the seal (16) is torn off and the user takes from the opened pouch (10) a serving of edible pieces, then in order to retain the remaining pieces in the pouch (10) for future servings, the user has only to operate the zipper to close the pouch (10). |
