FDA approves use of oxygen scavenger technology in PET containers

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved expanded use of DiamondClear™ oxygen scavenging technology. Developed by Constar International, the proprietary material is blended into polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to give it exceptional glass-like clarity, gloss and extended barrier protection. Using this technology, PET bottles and containers can be used to package a range of shelf-stable products, including tomato ketchup, salsas, pasta sauces, barbecue and similar steak and table hot sauces, jams, jellies, and juices.
