Bloated Food Packaging …What It Really Means

Why Some Food Packaging Is Puffier Than You Think:

Have you ever picked up a bag of chips and noticed how puffy it feels, almost as if it’s filled with more air than you expected? While it may seem like a packaging mistake, this is usually intentional. Many products, especially chips, are packaged with extra air to protect the delicate contents from being crushed during transit. This extra space acts as a cushion, ensuring that your chips arrive as crispy as they’re meant to be.

On the flip side, certain foods are packaged with little or no air. This is particularly true for perishable items like cheese and sausages. The absence of air helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, keeping the product fresh and safe until it reaches your table.
