The meat product has a first color and a second volume. The second volume is smaller than the first volume. The cavity is configured and arranged to receive the meat product. The space has a third volume that is the difference between the first volume and the second volume. The gas within the space comprises no greater than 30% carbon monoxide, and at least one of the base and the lid has an oxygen transmission rate of 0.1 to 15 cc of oxygen per package in 24 hours so that in 18 to 90 days the first color of the meat product has noticeably changed to a second color.
