Commercial Meat Packaging

The function of packaging is to surround or wrap meat products with

suitable protective material.

Packaging materials were in the old days simple

natural materials, but in today's exclusively

manufactured materials such as paper or synthetic

films. All the equipment necessary for a successful

meat plant operation, including Grinders,

Smokehouses, Tenderizers, Slicers, Stuffers and

more.

Packaging can prevent the above listed secondary contamination of meat

products. The further growth of microorganisms, that are already present

in meat products, cannot be interrupted by packaging only.

Purpose of packaging

The basic purpose of packaging is to protect meat and meat products from

undesirable impacts on quality including microbiological and physio-

chemical alterations.

Packaging protects foodstuffs during processing, storage and distribution

from:

Contamination by dirt.
