The packaging film is made from a milk protein called casein and currently does not have much taste. But the scientists claim that flavors as well as vitamins, probiotics and other nutritients could be added.

According to the scientists, the film is protecting food up to 500 times better from oxygen than plastic wrapping, but at the same time is biodegradable and sustainable. They expect the edible film to be ready in three years.
