A new microwavable food packaging.
In an effort to steer away from Styrofoam, which can cause a chemical transfer to food and even more so when heated …the Food and Drug Administration has approved a new type of disposable tray.
The new packaging is a paperboard tray that is treated with a microwavable coating and a microwavable film.
In July, a Washington state company introduced the new packaging with its product of sweet corn. The corn can be cooked in the microwave oven in the wrapper it comes in.
