Abstract: A composition having from 45% to 90%, by weight, of a first portion and from 10% to 55%, by weight, a second portion. The first portion has a lower melting point than the second portion. The first portion can have a higher water activity than the second portion. The first portion contains a sensitive ingredient which can be a Probiotic. The composition can be a supplement intended to be given to a pet.

Abstract: A package for large volumes of flowable solids may comprise 2 or more distinct packages of smaller volume. The 2 or more distinct packages may be bound together to minimize changes in center of gravity during handling. The packages may be bound together by an overwrap. The overwrap may have discontinuities. A method of packaging large volumes of flowable solids by temporarily reducing effective headspace to minimize changes in center of gravity during handling.

Abstract: Disclosed is an article of manufacture including bag having a front surface; a rear surface; two side surfaces each having a gusset therein and connecting the front and rear surfaces; a flattenable bottom surface formed by connecting the front, rear, and side surfaces; and a top surface formable by connecting the front, rear, and side surfaces. The bag has a height, a width, and a depth, and defines an internal volume. The bag is sealable and has a seal strength of at least about 1,600 pounds per square inch. The bag is formed from a plastic laminate having a thickness of from about 130 to about 200 microns and a tensile strength of at least about 3,400 pounds per square inch. The article of manufacture also includes at least about 15 pounds of a particulate, flowable composition contained therein. The bag can also have a closure system comprising a non-reusable closure and a reusable closure.

Abstract: An article of manufacture including a bag made of a multi-layer laminate. The bag can have a front surface, a rear surface, two side surfaces, a bottom surface, and a top surface; the bag having a height, a width, and a depth, and an internal volume. The bag can be sealable and have a seal strength of at least about 1,600 pounds per square inch. The multi-layer laminate can have a thickness of from about 130 to about 200 microns. The plastic laminate can include an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the outer layer can include a nylon and the inner layer can include a polyethylene. The plastic laminate can have a dart drop resistant of at least about 5 grams/mil and a tear resistance of at least about 6 grams/mil and 9 grams/mil in the machine direction and cross direction, respectively.

Abstract: A multi-compartment container cap comprising a hollow tubular body having a dividing wall forming a proximal compartment located at a proximal end of the hollow tubular body and a distal compartment located at the distal end of the hollow tubular body. The proximal end of the hollow tubular body is adapted to be releasably attached to a container body while the distal compartment comprises a separate compartment for the storage and dispensing of a composition which can be selected to be complementary to any composition store within the container cap.
