Life-Saving Packaging

The statistics are grim, but there's hope. Beyond better food-handling methods, packaging is becoming another avenue for food companies to better protect their consumers from the hidden dangers of organisms such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Campylobacter.

Smart packaging can do many things that most food packaging can't. It can inhibit the growth of bacteria and even fight pathogens in food packages, and indicate to consumers when a food is unsafe to eat. And that's just the beginning of many benefits that have attracted significant interest from food companies.
