FAERCH PLAST’S NEW ABSORBER EXTENDS SHELF LIFE AND REDUCES WASTAGE OF FRESH MEAT & FISH

Færch Plast A/S concludes sales agreement with Paper Pak Industries (PPI) regarding use of the UltraZap® XtendaPak absorber in its trays for fresh meat and fish

As part of a new sales agreement with Paper Pak Industries (PPI), Faerch Plast – one of Europe’s leading producers of plastic containers for the food industry – is now offering a new type of absorber for use in its trays for fresh meat and fish.

The PPI UltraZap® XtendaPak, placed underneath the packaged meat, limits bacteria growth while enabling the fresh product to better retain its juices. This helps extend shelf life by one or two days and keeps the meat attractive right up to the expiry date.

“The special feature of this new absorber is that it is activated when the packaged meat begins releasing juices on about the third day. The absorber then slowly emits CO2, over several days, keeping the bacteria level low and improving the meat’s ability to retains its juices. This not only keeps the meat itself fresh, but also fresh in appearance, right up to the expiry date,” says Joe Iannidinardo, Managing Director of Faerch Plast’s UK operation.
