Pizza that lasts forever

If you love your pizza you know its kind of difficult to eat it if its not fresh out of the oven. There may be some of you who argue that cold pizza from the fridge tastes just as good or even better. However we would all agree that the cheese in the pizza is not conducive for it to last a long time without spoiling.

Now what if you could have pizza that would last forever without going bad? That is exactly what the US Military is looking for. Well, while it may not last forever, this special pizza will have the ability to sit on the shelf for nearly three years and still be good to eat. Researchers at a U.S. military lab in Massachusetts are working on a recipe that doesn’t require any refrigeration or freezing.

The pizza is cooked, packaged and set down on a shelf till its consumed said Michelle Richardson, a food scientist at the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center. The quest for this good pizza has become known as the holy grail at the Natick labs. Richardson has spent nearly two years developing the recipe in a large kitchen full of commercial equipment.

As per Richardson pizza is the most requested food that soldiers have mentioned when asked about what they would like to see in their rations. Hopefully at the successful completion of this science project, the soldiers will not be disappointed.
