What Are Packaged Oxygen Absorbers?
Oxygen absorbers are made of a chemical compound, the active ingredient of which
is a powdered iron oxide. Our absorbers are completely safe. While they are not
edible, they are not toxic. No harmful gases are created and the oxygen does not
remove the fresh smell and taste of the product.
What Can Oxygen Absorbers Do?
When properly used with packaging and sealing, the oxygen in the container
is greatly reduced. Oxygen absorbers bring the oxygen level down reliably
to .01% or less.

What Type Of Oxygen Absorbers Do I Need?
There are several different formulations depending on whether food is frozen,
refrigerated or destined for long-term storage.
The absorbers on this site are all suitable for long-term storage
The most critical component for evaluation is the water activity level (AW). All
dry grain, legumes, milk powder, pasta products and
other dehydrated foods have very low water activity levels. Thus, they require
absorbers which have rapid activation. These work within minutes of the package
being opened.
WARNING:When packaging food for long-term storage, it would be most optimum for you to use the entire contents of one sealed vacuum packet bag within 30 minutes or reseal the unused Oxygen Absorber Bag with a clip or store them in a sealed glass jar. The oxygen absorbers will because unusable if not stored in a container within 30 minutes.
