The preformed, preprinted bags are made of an outer layer of paper, a microwave susceptor patch, and an inner grease-proof paper layer.

The 1.75-oz, elongated, shallow-depth bags with hot air venting mechanisms, triangular side-lip seams, and easy-open string-pull opening devices offer consumers a convenient self-contained cooking/eating bowl with large-mouth opening for easy access to product and reduced tip-over dimensions.

General Mills declined to comment on the bag. —Judy Rice
