MAP pack for fresh red meat and sauce

The Tesco chain of supermarkets in the United Kingdom is testing a new twist on fresh red meat in modified-atmosphere packs. It's a line of refrigerated "pan fry or grill" cuts, including pork, beef and lamb, that come with a complementary sauce.

The two-compartment black trays are perforated so that consumers can tear off the small compartment containing the sauce and microwave its contents while the meat entree is being fried or grilled.

Packaging the products for Tesco is North Devon Foods, located in Barnstaple in southwest England. "Tesco was looking for a fresh new image for this exciting range of products," says North Devon business development manager Jeremy Chew. "We have created an exciting new concept in the chilled meat convenience food market."
