A bag for all BBQs

From FPP Packaging Solutions in England comes the Qbag, a foil bag with a polyester window designed specifically for cooking on the barbecue grill. It won a Gold Award in the food category of the DuPont Awards competition.

First to commercialize Qbag is the Marks&Spencer chain of supermarkets, which launched a refrigerated potato/herb/

garlic/onion mix in June. Packaging the 340-g (12 oz) pack for Marks&Spencer is Exotic Farm Produce, also in England. Refrigerated shelf life for the item—which retails for about 2.75 ($4.90 US)—is six days.

To make the bag, FFP first embosses 38-mm foil. “It gives the material a little more strength and helps keep cooked product from sticking,” says FPP’s Gary Tee.
