German term or phrase: geflowte

"einzeln geflowte Marzipan-Sterne"

Leider habe ich kein Kontext außer diesen Satz. Die Übersetzung ist für eine Schokoladen-Firma. Könnte es "poured" oder sogar doch "flowed" heißen? Aber in meinen Ohren klingt "individually flowed marzipan stars" äußerst komisch...

in flow-pack

Explanation:
"flow pack" ist eine Verpackungsmethode für Lebensmittel:

z.B. hier für Marzipanrohmasse:
"Danopan Rohmassenprodukte jetzt
auch in der breit akzeptierten Flow-
Pack Verpackung."
http://www.mollmarzipan.de/produkte_detail.php?lang=de&okat=...

"SCIROCCO is the new PFM Flow Pack for high speed M.A.P. (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) of cheeses, breads, fresh pasta, sausages and salami, meats and other products. "

formed/shaped

Explanation:
Just a guess, really, but you can't pour marzipan and there are plenty Google hits for marzipan in conjunction with individually formed or shaped.

piped

Explanation:
As you say Hattie, what is the German language coming to? I originally thought that this may have something to do with chocolate "flowing" over the stars to coat them, but then I stumbled across this site, where marzipan is actually "poured" (although they choose to use the word "gegossen"):

http://www.kraftfoods.de/kraft/page?siteid=kraft-prd&locale=...

Considering these are probably bite-size marzipan stars, I can hardly imagine the marzipan being poured out of a large vat. Hence my conclusion that the marzipan could be piped, either into moulds or using a star-shaped piping nozzle.

Individually piped marzipan stars may be a stab in the dark, but I hope it helps.

British Diana: It's the packaging!! Have you tried Susanne's link's catalogue in EN as well as DE? It refers to packaging : DE gesealt/EN sealed DE in Flowpack/EN flowpack. Forget about "nice" language, otherwise there wouldn't be the word "foodtainer", would there !

-> Thank you, Diana!

Susanne Schiewe: gut möglich, s. a. "geflowt"//allerdings gibt es in derselben Ref. auch den "Flowpack". Entweder ist das inkonsistent oder doch etwas anderes http://www.zon-business.com/upload/ZON_Product_DU_prf4.pdf

-> Danke, auch für den Link!

Rose Newell: Amazing research. I thought it was referring to the piping, too - that seemed the most logical at first... Well done. Although it seems to be slightly more common without the hyphen.
