With the exception of some fresh produce, all of the food that we buy at our local grocery stores is packaged to maintain freshness and prevent it from being contaminated. This packaging can be as simple as a vacuum sealed plastic bag, to a resalable plastic container or bottle to a thin cardboard box. Any type of food that can quickly expire after opening is packaged in an air-tight container or bag so that it stays fresh long enough to make it from the supplier to the grocery store to be sold to a consumer who will use it before the expiration date.
Modern food packaging helps to reduce waste by preserving food for longer periods of time. Before packaging became so advanced, it was either too costly or the food had to be sold with a much shorter shelf life. This meant that more products were wasted, and it also meant that food processing lines were not held to a high cleanliness standard like they are today. To address the obvious health concerns of food packaging, the FDA regulates packaging facilities to ensure that they are always clean and that no contaminants are present during the packaging process.
Diversified Plastics & Packaging Inc. manufactures a full lineup of food packaging bags for meat, fish, poultry and other perishable food items. We even manufacture high quality bread bags for bakeries and food service industries. The best part is that all of our food packaging products meet the USDA and FDA requirements for food contact, so you will not run into any regulatory issues when you use them to package food in your business or industry.
Food packaging is an essential step in the transition between production and selling on either a commercial or individual level. Large food corporations typically do their packaging in-house using an automated system; while small business will usually buy food packaging supplies and complete the process by hand. At Diversified Plastics, we have built relationships with many partners in the food industry and we continually supply them with the food packaging products that they need to sell their goods.
