Abstract: The present invention relates to a food product such as a snack comprising at least one sealed edible hollow container filled with free flowable edible solids; wherein the container is configured to release the edible solids in order to be consumed in its present form or reconstituted with a liquid. The present invention also relates to a process of making such a snack. For instance the snack is a cereal-based biscuit filled with an instant coffee powder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (1) having a tubular shape, comprising a body (2) and at least two extremities (3a, 3b), wherein at least one of these extremities (3a, 3b) has a V-shape (4) and comprises an opening (5) forming an ellipse (6), and wherein the angle ? between i) the central and longitudinal axis (7) of the device (1) and ii) the tangential line (8) formed by said V-shape (4) is lower than 10°.

Abstract: The invention concerns a two compartment container (10) for making a two component beverage comprising: —at least one upstanding external sidewall (12) defining an internal volume; —an internal separating wall (22) extending between the at least one sidewall (12) and separating the internal volume; and —a first (18) and second (20) lid each attached to an end portion (12a, 12b) of the upstanding sidewall (12); thereby defining a two compartment container comprising a first compartment (24a) bounded by sidewall (12), separating wall (22) and first lid (18) and a second compartment (24b) located on the opposite side of the first compartment (24a) and bounded by sidewall (12), separating wall (22) and second lid (20).

Abstract: Packages for housing consumable products and methods of using same are provided. The packages may be customized, functional packages that are designed to prevent accidental spillage or leakage of a flowable consumable product housed therein when the package is opened or during consumption of the product from the package. In a general embodiment, flexible packages are provided and include a body defining a cavity for housing a flowable product, a channel for dispensing the flowable product from the cavity, and a releasable seal that blocks the channel under the application of light pressure, such as occurs during opening the package, but unblocks the channel under heavier pressure, such as occurs during consumption of the product.

Abstract: Packages (10) for housing consumable products and methods of using same are provided. The packages (10) may be customized, functional packages that are designed to prevent accidental spillage or leakage of a flowable consumable product housed therein. In a general embodiment, flexible packages (10) are provided and include a body (12) defining a cavity (14) for housing a flowable 12 product and a channel (16) for dispensing the flowable product from the cavity, wherein the channel (16) has a length that is from about two to about four times a width of the channel. In another embodiment, the channel (16) comprises a length-to-width ratio that is sufficient to prevent a liquid from leaking from the flexible package (10) without a force applied to the flexible package.
