Thus the films expose the food in the package to no odorous solvents, safeguarding taste and aroma. As a further benefit, “The LumiLid XL5 lidding film is actually lower in cost compared with other films, because we do not have to manage solvent coating processing issues like high solvent costs, measurement of retained solvents, incineration and waste management,” says Mike Theriault, business manager at Toray. To make sure even the youngest family members have the option of eating tasty microwavable entrées, Gerber Products Co. (www.gerber.com), Florham Park, N.J., launched Graduates for Toddlers Lil’ Entrées nationwide. These microwavable mini-entrées are retorted and filled into trays sealed with an easy-peel film. Taste-tested by toddlers, the meals contain no artificial flavors or added preservatives. The Lil’ Entrées primary package, molded with two compartments to accommodate multi-component products like turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy, is shelf-stable and reportedly offers 18-month shelf life. The Gerber entrées cook in 30 seconds in the microwave but are also safe to eat at ambient temperature. It doesn’t get much more convenient than that.
