Abstract: The invention relates to a method for packaging meat products by feeding a flat plastic foil to a filling tube and thereby shaping it into a cylindrical shape that surrounds the filling tube and is sealed at the overlapping edges, whereby the meat product is filled into the foil tube via the filling tube and the tube is then sealed at the ends and detached. It is thereby essential that the flat foil for use with raw meat products is extruded from long-fibered synthetic fibers and has a water and/or steam permeability of at least 40 g/m2d and that the packed raw meat products are subsequently preserved by the removal of moisture and/or by smoking.

Abstract: A packaging wrap is provided for meat products, in particular for boiled ham or pickled products, wherein the packaging wrap is insoluble in water, suitable for a cooking process, and comprises a foil that is permeable to gas, steam and/or smoke. Against the side of the foil facing away from the meat product, a net can be placed to increase its strength. The foil comprises a thin-walled fibrous foil having a maximum area weight of about 120 g/m2 and an anti-adhesive coating on its side facing away from the meat product. The anti-adhesive coating is made of a material that is safe in accordance with food packaging regulations and prevents the meat product from binding with the packaging wrap during the cooking process. A color may be transferred to the meat by applying the color to the anti-adhesive coating via an intermediate coupling or bonding agent.

Abstract: A food barrier casing for enclosing foodstuffs to be boiled or cooked within the casing, in particular for cooking or simmering sausages, ham, pickled products, or soft cheese. The casing comprising an absorbent inner layer which is firmly connected to an impermeable foil, wherein the inner layer comprises fibers and is impregnated with coloring and/or flavoring agents in an amount sufficient to impart color and/or flavor to the foodstuff within the casing.
