"frischeversiegelt"

English translation: sealed-in freshness

Marketing - Cooking / Culinary / Translation with Trados
German term or phrase: "frischeversiegelt"
The term is used in a pdf brochure about a ready-made Kebab meal produced in Germany and marketed in Europe.
Here are the original sentences in German:

Frischeversiegelt mit den traditionellen Röstaromen.
So verlassen nur aromageschützte und frischeversiegelte Kebab-Produkte aus Kalbs-, Hähnchenoder Putenfleisch die moderne Produktion.
Bevor das fertig verpackte und frischeversiegelte Produkt die Fertigung verlässt, werden Dichtigkeit und korrektes Füllgewicht kontrolliert.

By frischeversiegelt I assume they mean the packaged is sealed with a foil or something to keep the dish fresh.
I don't think a literal translation like "freshness-sealed" will work. Would "pack wrapped" or "foil sealed" be more appropriate? I would certainly appreciate your help or comments! Thanks in advance!

English translation:sealed-in freshness
Explanation:
If this is a marketing brochure then this should fit. In the title at least.

I think in the 2nd sentence in the paragraph it would be enough to just use "sealed"

Thank you very much for your help! I actually submitted the term to the customer who preferred this Expression. The other suggestions were not bad, either, however lacking knowledge of the specific packaging process, seal-in freshness/sealed were more appropriate.

Explanation:
That is the only way to guarantee freshness.
The next source sentence (frischerversigelte) makes a use of "sealed-in freshness" very difficult - though both could perhaps be used at different places.
