The new resealable lettuce bag helps keep leafy greens crisp, fresh, and delicious, with a 65 percent reduction in plastic compared to a traditional PET tray. "Consumers are looking for alternatives to conventional plastic packaging," said Paul Mastronardi, president and CEO. "This award speaks to our leadership in the industry to meet consumer demands."
The new packaging will launch soon on Mastronardi's Backyard Farms brand. Backyard Farms' fresh leafy greens are greenhouse-grown and suited for sandwiches, wraps, burgers, or salads.
