New Food Packaging Laboratory opens in Sealed Air Cryovac Italian premises

The Food Packaging Lab is run by a team of specialists from the Ready Meals application support group. It is an ideal complement to the newly launched Ready Meals training facility in Sealed Air Packforum® Paris.

 This new Food Packaging (development & utilization) laboratory
will serve to collect quantitative data and help clients
scientifically assess packaging solutions when used for in-pack heat
treatment for preservation or by end-users in the preparation of the
meal products. This unique facility complements the recently
inaugurated Ready Meals training facility in Packforum® Paris,
adding more valuable tools which allow Sealed Air Cryovac to best
serve the prepared foods market.
Jean-Marie Demeautis, President
of the Cryovac Food Solutions business unit of Sealed Air,
inaugurated the world class installations of the new Food Packaging
Laboratory, installed within the Sealed Air premises in Passirana di
Rho, Italy.
Equipped with state of the art analytical devices, the
Food Packaging Lab is able to run numerous measurement tests linked
to the thermal treatment of prepared food. A variety of microwave and
traditional ovens are installed in a spacious room, monitored by
infrared cameras and ad hoc probes connected to specific softwares.
