Linpac has teamed up with Tesco and Cargill, supplier of chicken products, to launch a new split pack for poultry that addresses portion control and food waste concerns.

The trio of companies have worked together to create a new perforated tray designed for two chicken breast fillets. The MAP tray then splits into two compartments, allowing consumers to store the food as individual portions in completely sealed packs.

The portion sized packs are ideal for single person households, which have increased by 30% in recent years. The packs have been created following consumer based research carried out by Tesco, which identified a group wanting to see portion control introduced into poultry trays.
