Abstract: The present invention includes a dispensing system for dispensing a packaged product, e.g. a condiment, onto one or more areas. A package including a pouch having the product therein cooperates with a dispensing gun to dispense a dose of product. In various aspects the invention includes a packaging system that includes a container and a flexible package; a package with a frangible seal, the package including a flexible pouch; a dispensing assembly for dispensing a product from the package; a dispensing gun system; a method of making a package; and a method of dispensing a product. The packaging system includes a container such as a rigid sleeve, and a flexible pouch positioned within the container interior, and also includes a valve that enables the product to exit the pouch interior and be dispensed. An optional diffuser coordinates with the valve to dispense product from one or more product outlets.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a package comprising a lower film that contains at least first and second compartments separated by a partition. The first compartment can substantially contain a food product and the second compartment can substantially contain a pouch. Specifically, the pouch comprises at least one rupturable seal and houses one or more food additives. An upper film is sealed to the lower film about the perimeter of the package via outer perimeter seal. In addition, the package comprises at least one inner perimeter seal that cooperates with the pouch rupturable seals and functions to isolate the first and second compartments until it is desired to intermix the food additive and the food product.
