Tetra Pak announces world’s first microwavable aseptic package
Aimed at the growing market in prepared sauces for both retail distribution and food services.
04/02/05 Tetra Pak has announced the world’s first microwavable aseptic package aimed at the growing market in prepared sauces for both retail distribution and food services. It is the ideal solution for today’s time-pressed consumers looking for increasingly high quality, quickly made meals.
The Tetra Wedge™ Aseptic (TWA) microwavable 200 S, with its distinctive shape and packaging material, is the most robust and easy-to-handle packaging solution for sweet and savoury sauces, according to independent consumer research.
Compared to stand-up plastic pouches (SUP), a common packaging for ready-made sauces, consumers tested found the TWA mw 200 S easier to handle and pour from as well as more robust and secure. Other favourable benefits over plastic included better flavour and taste and the even heating thanks to its shape. This avoids overheating and a hot-to-handle package.
Simple to open and heat, the TWA mw 200 S package is placed directly in a microwave oven after full opening and takes only a minute or two to heat, depending on the product and microwave power. It reduces overall preparation, cooking and clean-up time. Its stability makes it convenient to pour from, thus allowing a greater degree of portion control and less food wastage. It’s lightweight and easy to store.
