John Morrell & Co., Cincinnati, has developed a resealable tub for its Premium Hardwood Smoked Bacon. The company notes that the tub is intended to eliminate the mess and inconvenience of typical bacon packaging, and more readily enable consumers to utilize bacon for all meals because the container allows them to continue using an opened product.

In addition, John Morrell recently launched Pre-Cooked, Pre-Sliced Ham that eliminates the need for persons to dice, cube, slice or julienne the protein. Among the 11 cuts--which are delivered in several packaging sizes--are Diced Ham, Cubed Ham, Ham Juliennes, Canadian Bacon, Ham Breakfast Slices and Ham Steaks. The products also are sold in resealable packaging.
