FreshCard™ Extends Flavor and Color in Foods
Buffalo, NY – Multisorb Technologies, Inc., the world leader in active packaging solutions, introduces the new FreshCard™ oxygen absorber to preserve the freshness and quality of packaged food and extend product shelf life. New FreshCard™ reduces and maintains the oxygen content within packaging to below 0.01 percent, significantly lower than traditional vacuum, back, or gas flushing. FreshCard™ protects packaged foods such as baked snacks, breads, cookies, cakes, nuts, candies, processed meats and dairy products from spoilage, mold growth and other damage. It also reduces or eliminates the need for food additives and preservatives.
FreshCard’s™ oxygen scavenger technology prevents the growth of pathogens and organisms by controlling the oxidative chemical reactions that occur within packaging. FreshCard™ can be used by itself or in conjunction with gas flushing or vacuum packaging to absorb virtually all residual oxygen within packaging. By removing oxygen from packaging, food products retain their natural color, and preserve nutritive value. FreshCard™ works to continually absorb oxygen that permeates packaging throughout the shelf life of a product, minimizing the need for BHA, BHT, sulfur dioxide, sorbates, benzoates, and other food additives.
FreshCard™ lies flat and occupies minimal space inside packaging. Multisorb also offers customized four-color printing on FreshCard™ to enhance product branding, enabling it to be used as a coupon, game piece, or for other promotions. FreshCard™ is made entirely of food grade ingredients and can be conveniently dispensed in packaging or used, for example, as a support backing for individually packaged snack foods.
FreshCard™ ranges in size from 2” x 2” to 4” x 4”. Samples of FreshCard™ are available by calling 888-SORBENT (767-2368), or by visiting www.multisorb.com.
