The BYU Center for Long-term Food Preservation and Storage is doing research on the quality of food after long-term storage. Church members who have food storage meeting the following criteria are invited to donate to this research effort. The criteria are:
- Stored at least 5 years.
- Packed in sealed cans in a reduced oxygen environment (nitrogen flushed
or oxygen absorbers).
- Stored in the same location for duration of storage time.
- Not stored at high temperatures (such as attic or garage).
- Storage time can be determined (from can code or date written on can).
Those wishing to participate in the research should contact Michelle Lloyd: michelle_lloyd@byu.edu , 801-378-4033.
