  • Publication number: 20070065544
    Abstract: A package used for storing food and fluid having a food compartment and a drainage compartment, and methods of use and manufacture thereof. The food compartment and the drainage compartment are separated by one or more inner seals or divider walls having one or more passages. The divider permits fluid to flow from the food compartment to the drainage compartment, and to restrict fluid from flowing from the drainage compartment to the food compartment. This provides a package which can reduce the amount of fluid in the food compartment and facilitate removal of the food product from the food compartment, such as by upending the package, without also removing fluid from the drainage compartment with the food.
