Abstract

The present disclosure provides a food package system for cut or sliced produce. The food package system includes a food tray, tray insert, closure, and an absorbent food pad positioned directly below the tray insert that absorbs exuded liquid from the cut or sliced produce, and contains active agents that modify the atmosphere in the food package system and have antimicrobial activity. The absorbent food pad absorbs liquids from the cut or sliced produce and keeps the absorbed liquids separated from the produce to extend shelf life, preserve appearance and other organoleptic features, and reduce spoilage of the cut or sliced produce in the food package system.
