Abstract: A container (10) for transporting and displaying strip pack products (20) generally includes a container housing (30) defining a housing interior for containing strip pack products (20). The container housing has at least one flap (32) pivotable between a closed position at least partially enclosing the housing interior and an open position, wherein the strip pack product (20) is suspended from the at least one flap (32) in the open position.

Abstract: A reclosable flexible package can have a flexible film forming a body defining an interior contents cavity and having a first pair of opposing edge portions forming a first edge seal, a second pair of opposing edge portions forming a second edge seal, and a third pair of opposing edge portions forming a fin seal extending from the first edge seal to the second edge seal; the body having a first side portion having the fin seal and a second side portion generally opposite the first side portion; a score formed in the flexible film at the second side portion defining an opening to the contents cavity upon initial rupturing; a closure layer covering the score and a portion of the second side portion around the score; a resealable adhesive being between the closure layer and the flexible film; and the closure layer on the second side portion being capable of at least partial removal from the flexible film to rupture the score and form an opening.

Abstract: Lipid compositions are provided exhibiting the functionality of a typical shortening or filler fat, but are achieved with reduced and essentially zero trans-unsaturated fatty acids and that deliver reduced caloric content. By one approach, the functional lipid compositions include a blend of a matrix building ingredient, which is preferably a structured glycerol ester, and an edible liquid oil diluent in ratios such that the lipid composition exhibits the functionality of the traditional shortening or filler fat.
