The Debbie Meyer GreenBags® are food storage bags, created, manufactured and sold by Housewares America, Inc. They have been available from the Debbie Meyer Brand since 2004. They were first launched on QVC and were an immediate major success.

Independent laboratory results (Nova Biologicals, Inc - Conroe, Texas) and television commercials for the product claim it will keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer, (some items for up to 21 days) by absorbing ethylene gas.^[1][2] The bags' ethylene absorption is intended to slow the ripening process and preserve the produces' shelf life.^{[citation needed]} The product's packaging acknowledges that certain vegetables and fruits are preserved better in the bags than others. For example, strawberries are only advertised to last about nine days in a Green Bag compared to over three weeks for cabbage or carrots. The bags can be used to keep cut flowers fresh longer as well.
