Oxygen Absorbers

Extend the shelf life of your packaged foods. Oxygen absorbers contain the oxygen in a bag without having to add chemical preservatives to your foods. Oxy-Guard packets help to retain the texture, color, flavor, and smell of your item keeping it fresher for longer.

Oxygen Absorbing Packet Features:

  • Retains an oxygen level below 0.01% in a sealed container. 
  • Oxygen level is reached within 24 hours at room temperature. 
  • FDA-compliant for food contact.
