Abstract: The invention regards a plastic comprising a level of detectable 8-Nonenal ranging from about 0 to about 400 ppt. Preferably, the plastic is substantially free of perceptible off flavor. Also, in one execution the plastic is used to form a package (e.g., a food and/or beverage bearing package). The package may be constructed of a monolayer of plastic material. Typically, about 20 to about 100% of the package comprises from about 0 to about 1900 ppt of 8-Nonenal. Preferably, the level of the 8-Nonenal of a stored food or beverage product stored in the package for 7 days at a temperature of 150° F. ranges from about 0 to about 400 ppt as measured in a grouping of representative packages with product therein.
