  • Patent number: 8753699
    Abstract: A sterilized ready-meal food package comprising: a main container, defining a main volume and having a first opening at the upper part; a main food product held inside at least part of such main volume; at least one secondary container defining a secondary volume and having a second opening at the upper part; at least one secondary food product held inside at least part of the secondary volume; removable covering means arranged to occlude the first and the second opening. The main and secondary food products occupy at least 80% of the free volume available therefor; furthermore, the secondary container is associated in a removable manner inside the main container, in such a manner to occupy part of the main volume and reduce the free volume available for the main food product to a portion of the main volume. The finding also comprises a method for preparing the ready-meal food package.

  • Patent number: 8226999
    Abstract: One embodiment includes a package system containing a main container with a smaller container nested in it. The smaller container is filled with a secondary food item designed to be mixed into the primary food item. The smaller container is placed within the main container. The area of the main container not occupied by the smaller container includes a main food item. Both containers are sealed with one film. Before consumption, a consumer will place the package in a microwave to heat. Once heated, the smaller container is removed from the main container, creating space in the main container previously occupied by the smaller container. The main food item in the main container will re-position creating space between the top of the main food item to the edge of the main container. The secondary item can be added into the main container without overflowing out of the main container.
