It is an object of the present invention to provide a gas generating device that can initiate the reaction of a liquid-reactive chemical at a specified time, and stop the supply of the reaction liquid at a specified time, so that generation of a gas by the liquid-reactive chemical can be promoted after workers have finished loading fruits, vegetables, or other produce into a treatment chamber, and a personnel-free sealed state has been formed in the treatment chamber. A gas generating device having an upper tubular part that forms a receiving chamber 3 for a reaction liquid 2 and a lower tubular part that forms a receiving chamber 5 for a liquid-reactive chemical 4, wherein a reaction liquid supply port that supplies the reaction liquid 2 inside the receiving chamber 3 to the receiving chamber 5 is provided between the receiving chambers 3 and 5; and a shut-off valve 7 is provided which opens the supply port 6 and allows the supply of the reaction liquid 2, and closes the supply port 6 and cuts off the supply of the reaction liquid 2. The device further has a gas discharge opening 9 that discharges a gas G generated inside the receiving chamber 5 to the outside from this receiving chamber 5, and further has timer means for setting the supply time of the reaction liquid via the opening and closing of the shut-off valve 7.
