118.~ Packaging structure cooperating with food generated gas


DEFINITION

Classification: 426/118

(under subclass 106) Subject matter wherein the package structure has means to release food generated gas, i.e., valve, or has defined means to distort the package or container structure by food generated pressure (gas) in someway while still preserving consumer acceptability.

(1) Note. A package which merely contains a food in a perforate wrapper, or in a wrapper which is gas permeable, or in a can which has a vent hole which will be subsequently sealed is not a package within the purview of this subclass.
