Article Abstract:

Tartefrais has used an oxygen absorber for its pastry products for the past six years, enabling it to offer tartlets, which have a 21-day use-by date, for sale in large retailers and restaurants and food services. Tartefrais is now using a snack tartlet packaged in a Multivac under modified atmosphere, and inside the packaging is an oxygen absorber sachet, placed there manually. This sachet is soon to be replaced by an absorber gel, which will be placed automatically by a bowl feeder.
