Old South Foods of Ann Arbor, MI, a leading bottler and contract packager of restaurant and institutional foods, has converted its 16-oz barbecue sauce decanter from glass to hot-fill PET bottles from Amcor Rigid Plastics. The packaging conversion for Big Show Foods’ John Boy and Billy’s Grillin’ Sauce brands represents Old South Foods’ first use of PET containers. Moreover, it’s the first commercial adoption of Amcor’s 16-oz hot-fill stock decanter—the company’s latest hot-fill stock package for foods such as barbecue sauce, marinades, and salad dressings.
