'BerryBreeze' Aims To Eliminates Food Waste
February 24, 2014 | 1 min to read
Do you ever wonder how much food goes in the trash? The answer may surprise you. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, Americans waste 40% of edible food due to spoilage. Reducing that by 15% would save enough food to feed 25 million Americans, as well as reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. For years, commercial food producers have used activated oxygen (O3) to help food keep fresh longer before heading to market, as well as to avoid the sale of contaminated goods.
Now technology utilizing O3 is available for the first time to consumers for use in the home. Las Vegas based BerryBreeze™ offers newly-patented O3 technology that eliminates bacteria, mold, germs, and fungus that can cause food to break down so quickly. “Strawberries that only last a few days now last 2-3 times longer,” says BerryBreeze™ spokesperson Kevin Brooks. “The same goes for all produce, meat, and fish.”
By releasing O3 into the refrigerator or other storage space, BerryBreeze™ creates a clean, sanitized, and odor-free area. Battery-operated with a timing sequence to ensure the level of O3 remains consistent, it is perfectly safe in the home environment. In a pair of studies, internationally-recognized O3 experts Dr. Dee Graham and Dr. Rip Rice determined that limited regular exposure to O3 posed no risk to humans and enhanced the shelf-life of other organic materials.
