Legacy Premium, a US-based emergency food storage company, is utilizing a new technology across its food pouches to maximize the shelf life of pre-made freeze-dried emergency meals.

To avoid food spoilage and achieve an extended shelf life, it is important to maintain the oxygen levels at an absolute minimum. Through ongoing research, the company found that adding oxygen absorbers to its existing nitrogen flushed mylar pouches further reduces residual oxygen levels, providing an added layer of security to consumers.

Currently, every pouch of Legacy Premium sold has an oxygen absorber sealed inside. With this new development, it is possible to further reduce the oxygen levels.

The company noted that a study conducted by the University of Minnesota confirms the effectiveness of this improved packaging method, reporting average oxygen content at a mere .47% for Legacy Premium meal pouches.

Legacy Premium founder Phillip Cox said that the company invested its efforts into creating this new packaging method for every single pouch of food, to give customers the best value and nutrition.
