This source of packaging information, written in a question-and-answer format, discusses food packaging in general as well as specific products and processes. Peripheral topics of food packaging are included, with coverage of computers in the modern packaging operation, microwaveable products, aseptic packaging, the flexible can, tamper resistance and more. The advantages of controlled atmosphere (CA) or modified atmosphere (MA) packaging are reviewed and the need for moisture and oxygen barriers is analyzed. The book also confronts the legal aspects of packaging including FDA and USDA oversight, EPA and toxic waste disposal, bar codes, and nutritional labelling. Machinery, especially form-fill-seal, is covered in detail. Some of the food products chosen for detailed consideration are snacks, frozen foods, fish, fruits, vegetables, bacon, frankfurters, luncheon meats, fresh meats, cheese and coffee. The last section offers a glossary of terms to help the reader understand some of the vocabulary that has crept into the packaging language.
