Abstract:
A container for fresh cut produce comprises a first section and a second section separated from one another by a web, the web comprising a first three-dimensional apertured film, a second three-dimensional apertured film bonded to the first three-dimensional apertured film, and a nonwoven web bonded to the second three-dimensional apertured film. Produce is contained in the first section and the juices exuded from the produce flow into the second section, but are prevented from coming back in contact with the produce by the web, thereby increasing the shelf life of the produce.
