Package containing a water-in-oil fat dispersion and process for producing the same

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A package is described containing margarine or a similar spread, at least the surface of which that is not in contact with the walls of the package being provided with a thin coating formed by a substantially pore-free, edible fat layer (6) which does not contain a discontinuous aqueous phase, is not separately perceptible to the average consumer without auxiliary means and may contain a non-aqueous, physiologically acceptable filling agent, such as gas, dispersed therein. This package decreases, among other things the risk of mould formation and discolouration on the free surface of the spread contained therein.
