With the emergence of flexible packaging and barrier film technology to the market, food manufacturers are now being presented with many new packaging options, where they used to have but a few. For example, pouches made from specialty film combinations make it possible for a consumer to purchase rice already cooked and ready to serve, whereas in the past they would have to prepare the rice themselves. The reason this is possible is because of retort technology, an advanced manufacturing process that begins by filling and sealing a flexible pouch, then batch or gang retorting it through a thermal process that cooks and sterilizes the product and package.
