New fresh produce storage bags help to minimize spoilage while
keeping stored fruits and vegetables fresher for longer periods of time.
Pactiv Corporation, maker of Hefty® brand products,
today announced the introduction of new Hefty® OneZip®
Fresh Extend™ produce storage bags designed to help keep fruits and
vegetables fresher longer. These bags offer an easy and ideal solution
for storing fruits and vegetables that can help to prevent premature
spoilage. Consumers can keep produce fresher longer, which can help them
save money. Simply place the unwashed, uncut, dry produce in the bag and
slide the bag closed – it’s that easy!
“Hefty® OneZip® Fresh Extend™ Bags can save
consumers money because they are specifically designed to minimize
spoilage and keep stored produce fresher longer,” said John N. Schwab,
senior vice president and general manager, Hefty® Consumer
Products. “Fruits and vegetables are an important part of any healthy
diet, but they can be hard to keep from spoiling before they are
consumed. Our new Hefty® OneZip® Fresh Extend™
produce bags provide an easy and affordable way for consumers to keep a
variety of fresh produce on-hand longer than traditionally recommended
storage methods.”
Hefty® OneZip® Fresh Extend™ 1.25 gallon-size
produce storage bags are large enough to store most fruits and
vegetables. The bags are offered in 12-count and 20-count packs and are
available at Target and select grocers, hardware stores and drug stores
where Hefty® OneZip® slider bags are sold. The
bags may also be purchased through Hefty® brand’s on-line
partner, www.mybrands.com.
