Consumer Retail Packs
PEAKfresh® Produce Retail Packs keep fruit and vegetables fresher, longer. In fact, they more than double the existing storage life!
PEAKfresh® Produce Retail Packs work by:
- Removing ethylene gas: Most fruit and vegetables release ethylene gas after harvest. Exposure of the produce to the gas accelerates aging and ultimate deterioration. PEAKfresh® Produce Retail Packs remove ethylene gas to prolong the life and freshness of the produce.
- Breathing: Unlike ordinary plastic bags, PEAKfresh® Produce Retail Packs 'breathe' so that damaging gases produced by the fresh produce are removed.
- Minimizing moisture formation: Anti-fogging treatment of the film surface minimizes moisture formation to inhibit mold and bacteria growth.
PEAKfresh® products are certified by Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA 5001) for the packaging of organic produce. Accredited to the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements (IFOAM).
HOW TO USE PEAKfresh® PRODUCE BAGS
- Important: pre-cool warm fruit and vegetables in refrigerator before storing in bag.
- Use a separate bag for each type of produce. Produce must be dry.
- Expel air from the bag and close it using the enclosed ties and store in refrigerator.
- To protect bags, store them in the resealable wrapper.
- Caution: keep bags away from fire and children.
