A strategic partnership between Plascon Packaging and Cryovac is promoting the use of Cook-Chill throughout the foodservice industry. Cryovac invented cook-chill and has a technically advanced and durable films available for the process.
They recognized that many foodservice locations lacked the automated equipment needed to use roll stock to make cook-chill packaging. These customers required sealed or clipped bags to benefit from the cook-chill process.
Cryovac chose Plascon Packaging as the exclusive supplier of cook-chill bags made with Cryovac films.
Plascon Packaging manager Del Bourassa said that the cook-chill carries various advantages such as improved taste, texture and flavor of dishes; longer shelf life; bulk production uses less labor and energy; shorter plating time product consistency across time and location; and increased food safety and decreased labor costs.
“These organizations need to produce large quantities of consistent ‘just made fresh’ foods with an extended shelf life while also achieving a reduction in food and labor costs and practicing safe food handling,” said Bourassa.
“The Cook-Chill System from Cryovac and Plascon Packaging is a major advance in prepared foods technology that ensures consistent quality in every batch, at every location, while reducing labor required for preparation and serving. No other system now on the market can provide such a high degree of quality and fresh cooked taste,” he concluded.
Plascon Packaging in partnership with Cryovac Sealed Air Corporation provides cook-chill bags, closures, equipment and accessories.
