Cured Meat
Optimize Your Packaged Cured Meats with Modified Atmosphere Packaging
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) of cured meats like cold cuts, luncheon meats, and prosciutto, when done right, increases the shelf life of your cured meats. Your challenge as a quality professional and technical expert in packaging and preserving cured meats are many. You need to ensure your cured meats are in a modified atmosphere package (MAP) to meet shelf life requirements. You need to ensure that MAP is maintained from initial packaging through to when it is used by the end customer – which means rugged packaging with no leaks! You also need to ensure your packaging material has the right permeability properties so that your MAP is preserved.
Packaging your cured meats to meet their shelf life and continue to stay attractive to the consumer is complex.
