Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a package comprising a lower film that contains at least first and second compartments separated by a partition. The first compartment can substantially contain a food product and the second compartment can substantially contain a pouch. Specifically, the pouch comprises at least one rupturable seal and houses one or more food additives. An upper film is sealed to the lower film about the perimeter of the package via outer perimeter seal. In addition, the package comprises at least one inner perimeter seal that cooperates with the pouch rupturable seals and functions to isolate the first and second compartments until it is desired to intermix the food additive and the food product.

Abstract: An oxygen scavenger composition includes mer units that have at least one cycloalkenyl group or functionality and, further, has mer units derived from isophthalic acid or terephthalic acid or certain derivatives thereof. The oxygen scavenger composition has been found to act as an oxygen scavenger under both ambient and refrigeration conditions, to be compatible with conventional film forming packaging materials, to inhibit undesirable oligomer formation and oxidation by-product formation, and to be readily formable and processable using conventional film forming equipment. A film and laminated product having said oxygen scavenger composition are also disclosed.
