One important advantage to using glass as food packaging material is that it is ____
A
very strong and resilient
B
economical to ship
C
chemically inert
D
protective food color stability
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glass is virtually inert and impermeable, making it the most stable of all packaging materials. There is no risk of harmful chemicals getting into the food or drinks that are packed in glass. No additional barriers or additives are needed.

Detailed explanation-2: -As mentioned previously, glass is extremely inert, unlike plastic packaging. Dairy farmers, food business owners and consumers alike do not need to worry about their glass packaging breaking down and altering the smell, flavour and composition of their food products.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because it is odorless and chemically inert with virtually all food products, glass has several advantages for food-packaging applications: It is impermeable to gases and vapors, so it maintains product freshness for a long period of time without impairing taste or flavor.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because of its molecular structure, glass has very high barrier properties. Hence, even small chemicals (like oxygen) cannot pass through glass, and glass also cannot absorb chemicals from the food it contains.
