    Reduced oxygen packaging and food safety concerns in seafood
    Ovissipour, Mahmoudreza; Rasco, Barbara (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2020)
    Reduced oxygen packaging (ROP) and other types of packaging including controlled atmosphere packaging (CAP), modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), cook-chil, and sous vide all reduce seafood spoilage, but there are still some safety concerns.
