Abstract: Selected strains of Lactobacillus and products containing cells of the selected strains to improve breast milk for feeding to babies, more precisely to increase the levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10 in the milk and reduce the risk that the feeding baby will develop allergies and simultaneously reduce the cause and thereby the amount of TGF-beta-2 in the milk, thus resulting in reduced risk for the lactating mother to develop mastitis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a steamable pouch meal for preparation, e.g., in a microwave oven. The pouch meal comprises i) a plurality of frozen food pieces comprising at least two different types of food and, optionally, a quantity of frozen sauce or liquid seasoning, and ii) a pouch containing the frozen food pieces, the pouch at least partially comprised of a mesh material, the mesh material adapted to permit a first portion of steam produced upon heating the pouch and its contents to escape from the pouch while maintaining a second portion of steam within the pouch to create a steam environment therein for heating the food pieces. The mesh material additionally serves to retain sauce or liquid seasoning and juice from the food pieces within the pouch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for deoxygenating a food product and packing it. This method includes the steps of supplying one or more products to an evacuation chamber, evacuating oxygen from the chamber for deoxygenating the chamber and the product or products, injecting protective gas into the chamber to replace at least part of the oxygen evacuated from the product and chamber with protective gas, and transferring the products to a packing unit and sealing it in a package. The invention also relates to an apparatus for such as purpose and to deoxygenated food package.

Abstract: The invention relates to a package for food product useful for boil-in-bag or microwave. This package comprises a sealed flexible pouch with a web of oriented material having a slit in the direction of the orientation of the material which is covered by an adhesive membrane. The package is opened and emptied by peeling off the membrane to expose the slit, inverting the package and pulling the edges of the package substantially parallel with the slit to open the slit to facilitate emptying of the contents of the package without spillage and with a reduced risk of burning the fingers of the user.
