Bonjour à tous,

voici la phrase en question :

"The metal tins contain a protective gas" (il s'agit de boîtes contenant du lait maternisé)

Théoriquement, "protective gas" devrait être un "gaz de protection" mais ça me laisse assez perplexe...
Merci d'avance pour vos suggestions :)

atmosphère protectrice

Well, without its being a literal translation, this is how 'packed in a protective atmosphere' is translated — which seems to be the situation you have here.
