The package includes means for initiating the peeling separation along an edge of the package. The package, and method for manufacturing of same, is directed to the central packaging of fresh or fresh-frozen meats. Outer oxygen barrier maintains meats in well preserved condition in spite of purplish color having low consumer appeal.
