Abstract
An extruded film article such as a bag comprises a blend of a thermoplastic polymer such as ethylene vinyl acetate and an olefinic oxide polymer such as poly (ethylene oxide), with a modifier such as liquid smoke absorbed in the blend. The modifier is transferable from the film to a receiving surface such as a food body in fluid transfer relationship with the film.
