<p> EarthFresh’s new Light Blocking Potato Bags have been presented the Marketing Award in the Food Packaging Category by the Association of International Metallizers, Coaters, and Laminators (AIMCAL) at the company’s annual management meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. One member of the panel of judges claimed, “We really haven’t seen anything like this for fresh potatoes.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> These new bags are made out of materials that use light blocking technology to help protect the potatoes from greening, more than tripling shelf life to 21 days, according to a press release. In addition, the packaging presents a usage color coded system that highlights the potatoes’ best cooking usage.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> “The average grocery shopper doesn’t store potatoes properly at home,” says Tom Hughes, President. “Protecting potatoes from light is critical. The light blocking bags drastically reduces the incidence of greening at home and store level. The customer ultimately is the winner as green potatoes have a bitter flavor and should not be consumed.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Last October, EarthFresh teamed up with Sobeys to provide consumers with these Light Blocking Potato Bags to help them choose the right potato for the right job.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Congratulations on this great recognition, EarthFresh!</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://www.earthfreshfoods.com/products" target="_new"> EarthFresh </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
