Ryp Labs is a Bothell, Washington crop and food protection company that develops shelf-life extension technology for fresh produce in order to cut food waste. Its patented, nature-inspired formulation is applied to stickers, labels and sheets that sit inside produce packaging without touching the fruit, releasing compounds that slow ripening and delay the onset of mold. The company reports extending mold onset by up to seven days for berries in retail conditions and roughly doubling shelf life for mangoes. Formerly named StixFresh USA, Inc., it is USDA- and NSF-funded and sells to growers, packers, distributors and retailers.
What sets it apart
A food-safe, all-natural biomimicry formulation delivered as a simple sticker or label that drops into existing packaging lines - no chemicals applied to the fruit, no coating step, no new equipment - with an OMRI-listed variant for certified organic operations.
A sticker coated with a patented, food-safe, nature-inspired formulation that is placed inside produce packaging to slow ripening and delay spoilage of fresh fruit.
