About This Item
Full Description
1.1''This guide is recommended for use by all producers of food in retort pouches. Adherence to this guide will help prevent damage to the pouches by preventing and avoiding known causes of damage that occur in the processing environment.
1.2''This guide for flexible retort food pouches is based on the recommendations of a task force created by the Department of the Army in 1986.2 The purpose of the task force was to determine the possible causes of holes in pouches of food product produced for operational rations for the Department of Defense at that time. Members of the task force visited several food processors to observe and evaluate manufacturing methods commonly being used for processing retort pouches. The recommendations in this guide should be useful as the basis for good manufacturing practices and employee training programs used by food pouch processors.3
