More Information
Summary:A package for containing and displaying food products which tend to exude juices or fluids comprises a support tray and an absorbent pad positioned therein. The absorbent pad comprises a mat of liquid absorbent material, an upper liquid impermeable sheet overlying the absorbent mat,and a perforated bottom sheet underlying the absorbent mat, When a food product is positioned upon the absorbent pad, any exuded fluids will enter the mat by capillary action through the perforated openings of the bottom sheet, and the fluids will be held out of contact with the food product to thereby minimize contamination of the product and main tain its appearance and improve its shelf-life. The pad also has independent utility as a moisturizing device for use in closed food containers or packages.
