Abstract: A liquid absorbing sheet for absorbing liquids exuding from a food product disposed in a container of the type having a bottom wall provided with a furrow extending along a side wall of the container. The absorbing sheet comprises a first absorbing zone centrally located on the sheet and comprising a permeable top layer made of a liquid permeable material, an impermeable bottom layer made of a liquid impermeable layer and an absorbing mat between the top layer and the bottom layer, made of a liquid absorbing material. The sheet further comprises a second absorbing zone having an elongated and narrow configuration adapted to fit over the furrow, and comprising an impermeable top layer made of a liquid impermeable material, a permeable bottom layer made of a liquid permeable material and an absorbing mat between the top and the bottom layer, made of a liquid absorbing material.

Abstract: Package for packing a food product which likely exudes liquids, which comprises a tray and an upper sheet made of a stretchable liquid impermeable material. The upper sheet which is secured all around to the rim of the tray has a central portion devised to receive thereon the food product and a perforated intermediate portion whereby the intermediate portion is inclined when a food product is laid down on the central portion. The package further comprises a liquid absorbent mat disposed under the upper sheet to absorb any liquids exuding from the food product and passing through the perforated intermediate portion.
