摘要

A package (1) for extended storage and in-store display of fresh red meat is disclosed. Preferably the package (1) is made by a vacuum skin packaging process wherein the forming web is a composite peelable film (3) having a peelable oxygen barrier layer (4) and an oxygen permeable skin layer (5) which remains to enclose the product (8) when the peelable film (4) is removed after storing. A means and method for readily initiating the peeling process is provided by a combination of a manual pull tab (18) and selected perforations (17) of the forming web.
