The bags say that the “neutralizer fights nasty odors to keep your kitchen smelling fresh”.
But if I have some disgusting, decaying trash in the pail that is continuously giving off disgusting, decaying odors; how could anything neutralize that? Does the “neutralizer” release into the air and just eat up the disgusting smells? And if that’s so, should humans be breathing that? Or is it just like air freshener which is just one smell on top of another?

It’s just a scented trash bag like others have said. Brands aren’t really *required* to tell the truth. It overpowers the bad smells rather than eliminating them.
IIRC “Ozoning” or “Ozone Shock” is one of the only ways to actually neutralize bad smells, and it works quite well, but the problem is that ozone in that concentration is poisonous, so it won’t work for a kitchen trash can.
