Abstract

A package in the form of a reclosable bag includes a bag body including front and back walls, and a profile strip fastener assembly sealingly mounted on the inside surface of the front wall. The profile strip fastener assembly includes a pair of releasably interlocking profile strips. The bag body preferably includes a frangible joint substantially aligned with the fastener assembly for gaining access to the assembly, with the frangible joint desirably providing tamper-evidence of opening of the package. The profile strips are sealed to the front wall of the bag body with a continuous oval shaped seal around the frangible joint. A peelable seal is arranged between the profile strips and the bag body, over the frangible joint to substantially hermetically seal the frangible joint. Additionally, an antioxidant constituent can be blended into the material forming the profile strips to inhibit oxygen transmission through the profile strips.
