What are the benefits of aseptic packaging to the consumer?
Since they were introduced in the early 1980s, aseptic packages have become very popular in the U.S., especially in households with children. The special aseptic process yields a shelf-stable product, which can be kept in a cupboard for extended periods of time without preservatives or refrigeration. In describing their preference, American consumers often point to the safety, nutrition, and ease of handling of the aseptic package. Others prefer the aseptic carton because it is shatter-proof and tamper-evident.
