The mere recitation of (1) such generically designated terms as packaged, wrapped, canned, bottled, hermetically sealed, etc.., (2) a single layer of packaging material without some specific shape of said material or structural detail, e.g., square glass bottle, coated, or wherein the layer does not have any interaction other than packaging, e.g., specific oxygen permeability, light permeability, etc.. (3) insert gas packing, per se, without structure to contain the gas, (4) a closure closing a

receptacle without specific structure, or (5) packaging made from specific claimed material, i.e., glass, tin, aluminum, metal foil, or plastic are not considered proper for this and indented subclasses.

(2) Note. The food material itself must be enrobed or encased, whereas a nonedible associated with the food need not be.

(4) Note. A filled nonedible casing is considered proper for this subclass.
