Materials are provided that combine certain antimicrobial compositions with substrates to provide materials suitable for the packaging of food products, such as meat products. In one aspect, the present invention provides a material suitable for packaging that comprises (a) a substrate, and (b) an antimicrobial composition comprising: (i) an active antimicrobial agent and (ii) a carrier, wherein the antimicrobial composition has a viscosity of at least 50 centipoise at temperatures between 2° C and 12° C. L'invention se rapporte à des matériaux qui combinent des compositions antimicrobiennes déterminées avec des substrats pour fournir des matériaux appropriés au conditionnement de produits alimentaires, tels que les produits à base de viande. Selon un aspect, la présente invention concerne un matériau approprié au conditionnement qui comprend (a) un substrat et (b) une composition antimicrobienne comprenant : (i) un agent antimicrobien actif et (ii) un support, la composition antimicrobienne présentant une viscosité au moins égale à 0,05 Pascal seconde (50 centipoises) à des températures comprises entre 2 et 12 °C.
