Packaging change allows 145-day shelf life on ready-to-cook ribs
An aluminum tray solution from Advanta helps extend the shelf life of a rib meal from Rupari.
According to a United Nations report, 1 trillion kilograms of food is wasted globally each year. There’s no denying the link between shelf-life extension and food-waste reduction. Giving retailers more time to sell the product, and consumers more time to eat it, can only help the situation. Global packaging supplier Advanta recently demonstrated a packaging breakthrough to extend the shelf life of a pork rib ready meal.
CBQ, a subsidiary of Carl Buddig and Co., reached a multiyear agreement to produce Kingsford-branded precooked ribs and barbecue entrees, made with simple, real ingredients and without high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors or preservatives. Prior to the nationwide launch, important considerations surrounded the packaging choice for this product.
