A meat diaper refers to the absorbent pad found in pre-packaged meats whose purpose is to absorb the juices released from the meat during storage and transportation, helping maintain the meat's appearance and prevent spoilage.[1]

The absorbent pads are typically made from materials such as cellulose, silica gel, or other absorptive materials that can hold a significant amount of liquid relative to their size. They are usually coated in a non-toxic plastic wrapping that allows the liquid to seep in and stay trapped within the pad. The pads help regulated drip loss.[2]

If the absorbent pads are accidentally cooked to the point of melting, the associated meat should not be consumed.[3][4]

The pads may be pre-moistened as a form of weight fraud.[5]
