Abstract
A container that is resistant to both natural and artificial ultraviolet light so as to protect vitamins in the contents from photo-degradation. Additionally, the container has an opaque aluminum layer that blocks the transmission of oxygen thus protecting its contents from oxidation.
Claims10
A breast milk container comprising;
- a first sidewall having a first end and a second end;
- a second sidewall having a first end and a second end a leak-proof double zipper that conjoins the side at the first end of the sidewall;
- and
- a bottom side that conjoins the first sidewall and the second sidewall at the second end of the first sidewall and the second sidewall,
- wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall and the bottom side are a puncture resistant triple-layer freezer protection material consisting essentially of:
- an inner layer of polyethylene material to provide a strong and flexible moisture barrier while in contact with breast milk;
- a middle layer of aluminum material to prevent oxidation;
- and
- an outer layer of polyethylene terephthalate that is a material being a 100% visible light barrier and a 100% ultraviolet light barrier to prevent destruction of vitamins by natural and artificial light,
- wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall have a mutual easy-tear notch above the leak-proof double zipper,
- wherein the puncture resistant triple-layer freezer protection material do not include Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalate and made of certified food safe materials.
