An example embodiment includes a pouch. The pouch includes pouch material that defines an inner cavity. The pouch further includes a consumable item in the inner cavity. The pouch further includes an oxygen scavenger, at least one first portion of the oxygen scavenger being in the inner cavity. These and other pouch embodiments are disclosed, as well as methods of forming pouches.

In some examples, a package includes a package body enclosing a medical supply. The package body defines a window. The package includes a breathable membrane adjacent the package body and extending across the window. The package includes a moisture oxygen scavenger adjacent the package body and extending across the breathable membrane. The package includes an adhesive layer configured to hold the moisture oxygen scavenger adjacent the breathable membrane. In some examples, a technique includes sterilizing a package precursor including the package body and the breathable membrane, and after the sterilizing, adhering the moisture oxygen scavenger to the package body to form the package.

A method is used for preserving dlmetmyoglobin enzyme in meat and poultry. The method comprises the steps of: packing a master bag containing the meat or poultry; flushing the master bag with a non-oxygen gas to reduce a residual oxygen level within the master bag to 1% or less; sealing the master bag; and storing the master bag at a temperature between 28? and 42? F. The master bag comprises: a material exhibiting gas permeability for oxygen of less than 10 mL/m.sup.2/24 hours at 23? C.; and a self-activated oxygen scavenger material in an atmosphere of greater than 70% relative humidity. An oxygen absorption rate of the self-activated oxygen scavenger material is calculated by a first order oxygen absorption using Arrhenius equation, so as to achieve a zero oxygen storage atmosphere within 24 hours after sealing, and being able to function at a temperature range between 28? and 40? F.
