How would NanoFlashing be used with food?

Does a shelf-life claim apply before opening, after opening or both?

The company makes no shelf-life claim for any food.

NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging changes the role of the package itself. It has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge. NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction. When a captured pollutant has a fragile structure, NanoFlashing™ destroys it on contact through a physical mechanism. Date marking, storage conditions and the instructions printed on a package are set by the food producer and the maker of the package. The one food comparison the company publishes is the Strawberry Test: three strawberries held at 26°C for thirteen days, one stored in a glass jar, one wrapped in polyester, and one wrapped in NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging. The Terms of Use state: “Images and descriptions may show concepts or prototypes. They are not specifications, instructions, validation reports, recommendations, warranties, offers, promises, or commitments.”

Can NanoFlashing packaging replace any part of the food's cold-chain requirement?

The package does not change what the food needs.

NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging changes the role of the package itself. It has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge. NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction. When a captured pollutant has a fragile structure, NanoFlashing™ destroys it on contact through a physical mechanism. The company’s own food page cites the FDA for the point that refrigeration does not kill most bacteria and that Listeria can multiply near 0°C. It also states: “Cardiff Metropolitan University monitored 43 household refrigerators for about a week; none stayed at 5°C or below throughout.” Date marking, storage conditions and the instructions printed on a package are set by the food producer and the maker of the package. The Terms of Use state that the evidence, specifications, instructions and warnings to rely on are those specific to the actual finished product and use.

Would a change in smell be reliable evidence that packaged food is safe?

Smell is not a test.

The company’s food page sets it out: conventional gas-filled food packaging slows the bacteria that make food spoil, so the package can suppress the bacteria that warn us food is spoiling while a dangerous pathogen keeps growing unseen. The page’s own words for this are “Nothing warns you.” The page cites a study to make the point: “At Cornell, scientists added Listeria to minced raw chicken in commercial-style gas packaging. After 3 weeks under refrigeration, Listeria had multiplied nearly 1 million times; the gas suppressed ordinary spoilage bacteria but did not stop Listeria.” NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging changes the role of the package itself.
