Well, that's a Royal Society of Chemistry site she's quoting.... i couldn't see why anyone would use oxygen for packaging until I looked at http://www.food-info.net/uk/e/e948.htm If you use it for vegetables, it will stop the vegetable trying to grow, as carbon dioxide is needed for that. (Plants take in carbon dioxide in the day, and put out oxygen at night.) Oxygen should give no reaction with plant material (unless the plant material is heated to quite an extent, that is). I would have thought nitrogen would be just as good for this job, though.
