Oxygen enhanced meat and method of making same

This invention describes a two-step method for packaging meat to keep it fresh and maintain its color using oxygen instead of carbon monoxide. First, meat is placed in a package filled with at least 65 percent oxygen. Then, the meat is sealed inside a second package that completely blocks oxygen, either by placing the first package inside the second or by moving the meat directly into the second package.

Why it matters: Since 2007, public and regulatory discussions regarding the use of carbon monoxide in meat packaging have intensified. This oxygen-based method offers an alternative that could address evolving consumer preferences or future regulatory shifts concerning meat preservation gases.
