he patented cellulose absorbent, packed with super absorbent polymers, effectively wicks juice away from cut tomatoes while generating CO2 gas to reduce the growth of micro-organisms inside the package. Even in a non-barrier package, UltraZapXtendaPak Tomatoes active absorbent generates CO2 gas to slow the respiration rate, thus lowering bacteria, yeast and mold growth and extending the product shelf life.

Significantly less shrink will improve margins and reduce packaging costs
Extends product shelf life
Product is fresher through the use-by date
Reduces yeast and mold inside the package
Interferes with the ethylene receptors
Reduces the risk of cross contamination and related operator liability
