The entire container can be sealed in a transparent plastic wrapping. A lower front sidewall of the container facilitates removal of individual slices from the container.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a packaging filled with individually foil wrapped rectangular, in particular square, flexible slices of a highly perishable food, such as cheese, sausage, soy, sauce, fruit, vegetables, pressed meat, and the like.
BACKGROUND It is known for airtight, individually foil wrapped slices of cheese to be placed horizontally on top of one another so that they form a stack of slices that is enclosed by a packaging foil that is printed on the outside in order to give information about the contents, the manufacturer, etc. If the outer packaging foil is torn by the consumer, then it cannot be reused and as a rule, is discarded.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the invention is to create a packaging that is for individually foil wrapped, flexible slices of food and which can continue to be used to store the slices, after it is opened, and in so doing, permits easy removal of the slices by hand.
BRIEF FIGURE DESCRIPTION An exemplary embodiment of the packaging and a packaging apparatus are shown in the drawings and will be described in detail below.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION A rectangular, in particular square, flexible and therefore not rigid slice 1 of a few millimeters thick contains a highly perishable food such as cheese, sausage, soy, sauce, fruit, vegetable, pressed meat, or the like and is wrapped on all sides in a plastic foil which is sealed on the edges of the slice and thus forms sealed edges 2 there, so that the slice 1 is disposed in a gas-tight tubular bag whose surfaces rest tightly against the outside of the food.

The apparatus of the present invention comprises a self contained implant having a surgically implantable, renewable power supply and related control circuitry for delivering electrical current directly to the implant and thus directly to the area in which the promotion of bone growth is desired. The desired areas of bone growth promotion may be controlled by conducting negative charge only to the desired location of bone growth promotion.
