## NanoFlashing™ Food
Conventional gas-filled food packaging slows the bacteria that makes food spoil. 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](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/2126442); the gas suppressed ordinary spoilage bacteria but did not stop Listeria.

Pathogens are often present before the package closes: FDA inspectors investigating a Colorado packing facility [found food residue on equipment after cleaning](https://web.archive.org/web/20130314072715/http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/FoodborneIllness/ucm276247.htm); the 2011 outbreak killed 33 people. The FDA says refrigeration does not kill most bacteria and Listeria can multiply near 0°C. Cardiff Metropolitan University monitored 43 household refrigerators for about a week; [none stayed at 5°C or below throughout](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/28221951).

So the package can suppress the bacteria that warn us food is spoiling, while a dangerous pathogen keeps growing unseen.

Nothing warns you.

NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging changes the role of the package itself. It has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge. The packaging captures and destroys up to 99.99% of viruses, bacteria and fungal spores through a physical mechanism, with no power and no chemicals.

### 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.
