Abstract:
1. A container for storing a fat containing liquid product, wherein the container is penetrable by a needle for aseptically filling a storage chamber of the container through the needle with the fat containing liquid product, and the resulting needle hole is thermally resealable to seal the fat containing liquid product within the container, the container comprising: a body defining a storage chamber therein for receiving the fat containing liquid product, wherein the body does not leach more than a predetermined amount of leachables into the fat containing liquid product and does not undesirably alter a taste profile of the fat containing liquid product; a container closure; a first material portion overlying the storage chamber and defining an internal surface in fluid communication with the storage chamber forming at least most of the surface area overlying the storage chamber that can contact any fat containing liquid product within the storage chamber and that does not leach more than the predetermined amount of leachables into the fat containing liquid product or undesirably alter a taste profile of the fat containing liquid product, wherein the predetermined amount of leachables is less than about 100 PPM; a second material portion that at least one of (i) overlies the first material portion and cannot contact any fat containing liquid product within the storage chamber, and (ii) overlies the storage chamber and forms a substantially lesser surface area overlying the storage chamber that can contact any fat containing liquid product within the storage chamber in comparison to the first material portion, wherein the second material portion is needle penetrable for aseptically filling the storage chamber with the fat containing liquid product, and a resulting needle aperture formed in the second material portion is thermally resealable to seal the fat containing liquid product within the storage chamber; a sealing portion engageable with the body prior to aseptically filling the storage chamber with the fat containing liquid product and forming a substantially dry hermetic seal between the container closure and body; and a securing member connectable between the container closure and body for securing the container closure to the body.
