What is a Retort Pouch?

 Retort pouches are flexible plastic pouches which are packed with already cooked or semi-cooked food, sealed and subsequently sterilised to create food pouches that have a shelf life of up to 18 months with no preservatives and zero refrigeration. 

Retort pouches were invented by the US Army for storing military rations in the 1970s and have since revolutionized food and beverage packaging in the Ready-to-Eat packaged food segment.

Retort pouches are as durable as metal cans. They are four-layered pouches and manufactured with retort-specific films.
