Packaging food

  • Using flexible food packaging

Description

Packaging food involves enclosing food products in protective materials to preserve freshness, prevent contamination, and extend shelf life. This strategy addresses issues such as spoilage, waste, and foodborne illness by providing barriers against physical, chemical, and biological hazards. Effective food packaging also facilitates safe transport, clear labeling, and portion control, ensuring food reaches consumers in optimal condition while reducing losses throughout the supply chain.This information has been generated by artificial intelligence.
