Retort Pouches: Retort Packaging for Ready-To-Eat Foods
A retort pouch or retortable pouch is a type of food packaging made from a laminate of flexible plastic and metal foils.
It allows the sterile packaging of a wide variety of food and drink handled by aseptic processing, and is used as an alternative to traditional industrial canning methods.
Packaged foods range from water to fully cooked, thermo-stabilized (heat-treated) high-caloric (1,300 kcal on average) meals such as Meals, Ready-to-Eat (MREs) which can be eaten cold, warmed by submersing in hot water, or through the use of a flameless ration heater, a meal component introduced by the military in 1992.

- SOUP PACKAGING
