Oxygen Absorbers For Food Storage

Oxygen Absorbers for Food Storage: Buying in Bulk & Wholesale from SMB

Oxygen absorbers are a game-changer when it comes to long-term food storage – and it’s easy to see why. They work by sucking the oxygen out of sealed packaging, which in turn helps to slow down spoilage, keep flavors intact, and extend shelf life. Here at SMB, we specialize in designing oxygen absorbers that work a treat in home food preservation, as well as in commercial bulk packaging situations all over the US.

The thing is, people use these little packets for just about any type of food storage they’re into – whether that’s Mylar bags, vacuum-sealed pouches, or good ol’ airtight containers. They’re trusted choice among companies that focus on emergency preparedness, food manufacturers, survival food brands and regular households that want to keep their dry foods safe for months or even years to come.

How Do Oxygen Absorbers Pull Off Their Magic Trick?

Oxygen absorbers contain a mix of iron powder and some natural stuff that kicks in when they’re exposed to the air. Once you’ve sealed them up inside a package. They get to work sucking the oxygen out, creating a low-oxygen environment that stops mold from growing, insects from getting in and oxidation from ruining your food.

But don’t forget one thing – proper sealing is super important. Oxygen absorbers work best when you use them with airtight packaging like Mylar bags, and make sure your containers are sealed up proper and tight.

Choosing the Right Oxygen Absorber Size (CC Ratings)

• 300cc – perfect for quart-size bags and medium containers.
• 500cc – good for gallon-size bags.
• 1000cc+ – ideal for larger bulk bags, buckets or multi-gallon storage.
