A method for producing an extruded film article such as a bag, which is a blend of a thermoplastic polymer such as ethylene vinyl acetate and an olefinic oxide polymer such as poly(ethylene oxide), with a modifier such as liquid smoke absorbed in the blend. The modifier is transferable from the film to a receiving surface such as a food body in fluid transfer relationship with the film.

Method for producing transferable modifier-containing film

An extruded film article such as a bag comprises a blend of a thermoplastic polymer such as ethylene vinyl acetate and an olefinic oxide polymer such as poly (ethylene oxide), with a modifier such as liquid smoke absorbed in the blend. The modifier is transferable from the film to a receiving surface such as a food body in fluid transfer relationship with the film.

Transferable modifier-containing film

A flexible tube of multilayer film having an inner layer formed of a blend comprising EVA and an unneutralized copolymer of the ethylene acrylic acid type. At least the inner layer is irradiated. The tube is used for insitu cooking of encased meat by an aqueous bath, with resulting improved adhesions between the cooked meat outer surface and the film inner surface.

Meat-adhering multilayer film

A flexible multilayer film tube has an inner layer comprising a blend of thermoplastic polymer and starch particles in protruding relationship with the inside surface which, after oxidation, develops improved meat adhesion during in situ cooking.
