Bunzl Distribution is making an impact on quality and freshness in the industry with the UltraFreshSystem™. The creation is an innovative fresh food package that features Paper Pak Industries' revolutionary UltraZapXtendaPak food safety pad and a state-of-the-art Sonoco tray. The tray and the active absorbent pad maintain the product's appearance while also extending the shelf life by slowing the product's respiration rate. The pad releases CO2 gas that envelopes the fresh-cut produce and helps reduce the growth of micro-organisms inside the package. Greg Wohlleb, Vice President, tells AndNowUKnow, "This product is the choice for foodservice or retail customers because it provides quality enhancement from day one throughout the life of the product. The patented CO2 release feature is a game changer and we are looking forward to sharing our innovation with the industry."’<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Wada Farms has put the finishing touches on its new colored potato shipping facility.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">The company will begin test runs this week on its red and gold Idaho potatoes that will begin shipping around the second week of October.
