Food Packaging

OASIS SAF® is regulated by the United States of America Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for use as a fluid absorbent in food contact materials used in packaging of fruit and vegetables, poultry, meat and fish at refrigerated and frozen temperatures. The FDA Food Contact Notification (FCN) numbers for OASIS SAF® are 98 and 344.

Food pads incorporating the OASIS SAF® provide a highly innovative and efficient means of keeping meat, fish, poultry and a whole range of perishable foodstuffs, packaged in optimised conditions.

The versatility of OASIS SAF® allows for the design of food pad constructions which absorb and lock away excess liquid from the foodstuff within the OASIS SAF® core. Absorption of liquid is not affected if the pad is tilted. OASIS SAF® fabrics can be cut and shaped to whatever size required, given the non migratory properties of OASIS SAF® fibre.

Technical Absorbents Ltd is constantly developing its super absorbent technology, working in close collaboration with its food packaging industry partners. Such development work is leading to an ever greater control of food exudates absorbency, together with enhancement of food pad design incorporating OASIS SAF®, to offer even more cost effective solutions.
