Ready Pac has achieved a number of goals by reducing the amount of materials used in the production of clamshells. Its new custom Peel and Reseal Clamshell Film is currently a United Fresh 2013 finalist for the Best New Packaging award. The peel and reseal film is a consumer and environmentally friendly development which sets a new standard for salad packaging. It’s easy to open, tamper-evident, and keeps lettuce fresh while using about 1/3 less plastic, allowing for an extra layer on each pallet during transport!<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><img src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacyWriterImages/bistro_salads.jpg" alt="images 041513" /><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Featured products during the show will also include delicious new recipes within the Ready Pac Bistro® Salad Bowl line. A classic newcomer, Apple Bleu Pecan has already proven to be a key performer for the brand. With fresh-cut apples over a bed of arugula and baby greens, walnuts, pecans and a bleu cheese vinaigrette dressing, it closely mirrors the flavor profile of the restaurant industry’s top selling menu items.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Ready Pac proudly introduced four new recipes of Ready Pac Bistro® Organic Salad Bowls, to capitalize on the demand for organic. The new varieties are Organic Cranberry Walnut, Organic Chicken Caesar, Organic Southwestern Style, and Organic Honey Mustard Baby Spinach. All four of the new recipes are not only 100% organic certified, but they incorporate a blend of wholesome ingredients.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><img src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacyWriterImages/hl_readypac_apr_2013_BANNER.jpg" alt="images041613" /><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> “We’re seeing considerable growth within the organic packaged salad category which, during the latest 13 weeks, is up 20% in dollar sales compared to previous year,” said Tristan Simpson, Director of Marketing and Corporate Communications at Ready Pac. “We’ve had such great success with our Ready Pac Bistro® Salad line, it made perfect sense for us to extend our offerings to accommodate our growing organic consumer base.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Ready Pac will also introduce a sweet offering coming to the marketplace. The Bistro™ Fruit Salad, another key feature at this year’s event, brings a new take to fruit bowls. These recloseable single serve bowls are filled with fresh-cut fruit, a sweet dressing and dried fruit or nut garnish to blend together and bring out the fruit’s dynamic flavors. There are three delicious combinations debuting, including: Tropical Fruit Salad, Caramel Fruit Salad and Waldorf Fruit Salad. Bistro™ Fruit Salad has been confirmed as a finalist for the coveted Best New Fruit Product Award. Nominees in each category will be displayed at the United Fresh Membership booth, and winners will be selected by event attendees.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://www.readypac.com/" target="_new">Ready Pac</a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
