ConAgra debuts aseptic pudding packs

ConAgra Foods, Irvine, CA, claims it’s the first-ever shelf-stable pudding in a single-serve tube pack. Another convenient, tube-packed fun food directed toward kids has been introduced (see packworld.com/go/c049): Hunt’s Snack Pack Squeez ‘n Go Portable Pudding.

Pw 15812 Squeez

Squeez ‘n Go debuted this summer and should be available nationwide this month.

The 2.25-oz tubes measure 8¾’’ x 1½’’. The three-side-sealed film with tear notch opening is from Curwood (Oshkosh, WI). Although film details are unavailable, samples indicate that a foil or a metallized film layer plays a key role in the laminated structure. ConAgra had introduced refrigerated tube packs of pudding under the Hershey brand this spring in a similar format now used for Squeez ‘n Go. Both products are produced eight-up at rates of 400 packs/min on Stick Pack Model 2030 form/fill/seal equipment from Hassia USA (Morganville, NJ). ConAgra says that the tubed packs have a one-year shelf life.
