Food spoilage due to undesirable microbial growth is a common factor which shortens the shelf life of food products and can cause food borne illness outbreaks. This article looks at the use of antimicrobial agents being incorporated or immobilized into packaging materials to prevent the growth of microorganisms on the food surface and thus lead to an extension in shelf life and improved microbial safety of the food.
