NOVELTY - Packaging module useful in transporting and/or storing of carbon dioxide absorbing oxidatively-degradable foodstuffs comprises: (a) a pressure-stable sealed tote of limited oxygen permeability and a defined headspace; (b) a carbon dioxide absorbing oxidatively-degradable foodstuff; (c) a fuel cell capable of converting hydrogen and oxygen into water; (d) a hydrogen source; and (e) further where the initial headspace occupies at least 30 volume percent of the tote and the gas in the headspace comprises at least 99 vol. percent gases other than oxygen.    USE - The packaging module is useful in transporting and/or storing of carbon dioxide absorbing oxidatively-degradable foodstuffs or transporting and/or storing of oxidatively-degradable foodstuffs; and for removing oxygen from tote having oxidatively degradable foodstuff(s) (all claimed).    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Packaging module useful in transporting and/or storing of carbon dioxide absorbing oxidatively-degradable foodstuffs comprises: (a) a pressure-stable sealed tote of limited oxygen permeability and a defined headspace, where the tote consists of a flexible, collapsible or expandable material which does not puncture when collapsing or expanding; (b) a carbon dioxide absorbing oxidatively-degradable foodstuff; (c) a fuel cell capable of converting hydrogen and oxygen into water; (d) a hydrogen source; and (e) further where the initial headspace occupies at least 30 volume percent of the tote and the gas in the headspace comprises at least 99 vol. percent gases other than oxygen. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are:    (1) a system useful in transporting and/or storing of carbon dioxide absorbing oxidatively-degradable foodstuffs which comprises one or more packaging modules, each packing module comprises: (i) a pressure-stable sealed tote of limited oxygen permeability and a defined headspace, where the tote consists of a flexible, collapsible or expandable material which does not puncture when collapsing or expanding; (ii) a carbon dioxide absorbing oxidatively-degradable foodstuff; (iii) a fuel cell capable of converting hydrogen and oxygen into water; (iv) a hydrogen source; and (v) further where the initial headspace occupies at least 30 volume percent of the tote and the gas in the headspace comprises at least 99 vol. percent gases other than oxygen;    (2) a method for transporting and/or storing of carbon dioxide absorbing oxidatively-degradable foodstuffs comprising: (a) removing the oxygen in a packaging module containing an carbon dioxide absorbing oxidatively-degradable foodstuff to generate a reduced oxygen environment within a packaging module, the packaging module comprising a pressure-stable sealable tote of limited oxygen permeability and a defined headspace where the tote consists of a flexible, collapsible or expandable material which does not puncture when collapsing or expanding, a fuel cell, and a hydrogen source; (b) flushing the tote with an inert gas such that the tote comprises an initial gaseous headspace where the initial headspace occupies at least 30 volume percent of the tote and the gas in the headspace comprises at least 99 vol. percent gases other than oxygen; (c) sealing the tote; (d) operating the fuel cell during transport or storing such that oxygen is converted to water by the hydrogen present in the tote to maintain the reduced oxygen environment within the tote; and (e) transporting or storing the material in the tote;    (3) a method for removing oxygen from a tote having oxidatively degradable foodstuff(s) comprising: (a) a tote having a sealable gas inlet port and a sealable gas outlet port both ports being positioned in the head space of the tote where the tote comprises a flexible, collapsible or expandable material which does not puncture when collapsing or expanding; (b) adding oxidatively degradable foodstuff(s) to the tote in an amount such that the inlet and outlet ports are not obstructed; (c) sealing the tote; (d) conducting one or more initial flushings of the tote with a low oxygen gas source by injecting a sufficient amount of such gas source into the tote through the inlet port while emitting gas through the outlet port so as to provide a low oxygen atmosphere in the tote and a gaseous head space of sufficient volume to permit absorption of gas into the foodstuff without increasing oxygen content in remaining gaseous head space in the tote to a level of above about 1500 ppm; (e) sealing the inlet and outlet ports; and (f) optionally periodically flushing the tote with a low oxygen gas source such that after flushing there remains a sufficient gaseous head space to compensate for gas absorption into the foodstuff such that the oxygen concentration in the remaining gaseous head space does not exceed 1500 ppm at any given time; and    (4) a method for transporting and/or storing of oxidatively-degradable foodstuffs comprising: (a) removing the oxygen in a tote containing an oxidatively-degradable foodstuff to generate a reduced oxygen environment, the tote comprising a flexible, collapsible or expandable material which does not puncture when collapsing or expanding of limited oxygen permeability, a sealable gas inlet port and a sealable gas outlet port both ports being positioned in the head space of the tote and a low oxygen gas source in gaseous communication with the tote; (b) sealing the tote; (c) optionally periodically flushing the tote with a low oxygen gas source such that after flushing there remains a sufficient gaseous head space to compensate for gas absorption into the foodstuff such that the oxygen concentration in the remaining gaseous head space does not exceed 1500 ppm at any given time; and (d) transporting or storing the foodstuff in the tote.
