What is claimed is: 1. A method of triggering a film containing an oxygen scavenger comprising: a) providing a composition comprising a carbamide peroxide or an inorganic peroxide wherein the composition comprises a product having said peroxide therein, and in which oxygen evolves from the breakdown of said peroxide present in the product; and b) packaging the composition in a film comprising an oxygen scavenger; whereby the oxygen scavenger is triggered in the absence of ultraviolet light, visible light, and electron beam radiation by exposure to said peroxide or an associated enriched oxygen environment. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the oxygen scavenger comprises: a) an organic oxygen scavenger, b) a transition metal catalyst, and c) a photoinitiator. 3. The method of claim 2 wherein the wherein the organic oxygen scavenger comprises one or more material selected from the group consisting of i) ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon, ii) a polymer having a polymeric backbone, cyclic olefinic pendent group, and linking group linking the olefinic pendent group to the polymeric backbone, iii) a copolymer of ethylene and a strained, cyclic alkylene, and iv) ethylene/vinyl aralkyl copolymer. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition comprises from 0.5% to 25%, by weight of the composition, peroxide. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the average oxygen scavenging rate of the film is at least 25 cc/m2/day for at least two days after the oxygen scavenging property of the film is triggered. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one layer of the film is cross-linked. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the film is solid state oriented. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the film is heat shrinkable. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the peroxide comprises hydrogen peroxide. 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the film comprises: i) a first layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of metallized or pigmented polyester, polypropylene, polyamide, high density polyethylene, ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer, polytetrafluoroethylene, poly(vinyl chloride), cycloolefin copolymer, oriented poly(styrene), and ethylene / propylene copolymer; ii) a second layer comprising ink, pigment or a metallized polymeric substrate; iii) a third layer comprising an oxygen scavenger, and iv) a fourth layer comprising an ethylene homopolymer or copolymer.
