NEW
YORK—Nature’s Natural Solutions has announced that the Food Freshness Card has won the Gold
Medal in the 2019 Edison Awards in the Food Tech Solutions. The award is the
latest in a long list of awards and accolades the product has won since its
launch just a few years ago.
Father and son team, Rick and RJ Hassler, developed and patented the Food
Freshness Card. They joined hundreds of senior executives from some of the
world’s most recognized companies, including IBM, to acknowledge the hard
work and commitment of all the 2019 Edison Award winners at an April 4
event at The Capitale in New York City.
“Global food waste totals $5 billion annually and accounts for eight percent of
greenhouse gas emissions,” said Rick Hassler. “The Food Freshness Card
utilizes Tesla technology and is manufactured under three U.S. patents to help
keep food fresher inside or outside of a refrigerator.”
Hassler added that in independent laboratory testing, the Food Freshness
Card increased shelf life 40 percent for many fruits, vegetables and
breads. From farm to fork, the Food Freshness Card naturally extends
shelf life in storage, transportation, supermarkets, restaurants and the home.
Best New Food Safety Solution
Other recent awards bestowed upon the Hassler duo and the Food Freshness Card
include Inpex, America’s largest invention show, Grand Prix
Award; IENA in Germany, Bronze Medal, Best Invention/New
Product; United Fresh Innovation awards and Best New Food Safety Solution
2017 and 2018.
Being recognized with an Edison Award has become one of the highest accolades a
company can receive in the name of innovation and business. The awards are
named after Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) whose inventions, new product
development methods and innovative achievements literally changed the
world, garnered him 1,093 U.S. patents, and made him a household name around
the world.
“Once again, the winners created innovations that are revolutionizing
industries and becoming indispensable,” said Frank Bonafilia,
Executive Director of the Edison Awards. “One of the game-changing
winners, Food Freshness Card, was recognized as a true innovator out of
the many products in its category, Food and Technology.”
