Abstract

An absorbent pad structure particularly suited for use in a vacuum package for a food product and the like is disclosed as well as its method of manufacture. The composition of the pad is such as to minimize leakage of liquids into the absorbent material during storage and to permit the flow of liquids freely for absorption during cooking of the packaged product. The pad is particularly suitable for use in bacon packages and other food packages containing oils or grease.
