CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGE WITH DOUBLE COVER

摘要

A package which allows for butchering and packaging of fresh red meat at a centralized facility is provided which includes a support member such as a tray (12) for receiving and supporting the meat, a permeable film (26) enclosing the meat and an impermeable film enclosing the permeable film which remains in place during distribution and is removed at retail. A discontinuity in the seal between the permeable film and the tray provides for rapid introduction of oxygen to the packaged meat.
