Abstract

A container for perishable food items, such as fruits and vegetables is provided with a device for producing a substance for killing the fungus or bacteria said substance adhering to the surface of the food item. This substance produced by a device for generating ozone or an oxygen atom and is directly provided in or attached to the food container. A retractable hood can be utilized to prevent the substance from entering the atmosphere of a room prior to the completion of a treatment. A fan is provided for assisting in the introduction as well as the elimination of the substance to and from the interior of the container.
