The FreshPax CR system, designed to enable meat producers to expand distribution networks and offer branded, display-ready products to a broader spectrum of retailers, is also suitable for shrinkwrapped foam tray use. Suited to low-oxygen MAP packaging, it addresses “the primary threat” to packaged meats’ shelf-life – oxidation. Oxygen scavengers are used alongside vacuum and back flush systems to absorb the residual oxygen which can adversely affect flavour, aroma and appearance. Specially formulated to work in a chilled environment, the scavengers “rapidly reduce oxygen levels to 0.01%, effectively inhibiting oxidative degradation”. Once at the retailer individual meat cases are removed and allowed to re-bloom, ensuing an appealing red colour. The meat is then placed on-shelf as if cut and wrapped on-site.
