Bolthouse Fresh Foods' compostable packaging, which will debut this month in 1-pound and 2-pound Bolthouse Fresh Foods baby carrots in Meijer, recently took home the Best Sustainable Packaging Award at the International Fresh Produce Association's 2024 Global Produce and Floral Show.
The company said it plans to expand this packaging to organic products next year.
Bolthouse Fresh Foods said this new compostable packaging — which is TUV Certified — is made from renewable canola and breaks down in standard home composting, according to a news release. Each package features a QR code to help consumers effectively compost the packaging.
“Our mission is to provide fresh, nutritious produce that people can trust," said Karen White, vice president of marketing at Bolthouse Fresh Foods. "The launch of our compostable packaging is a natural extension of that mission, offering solutions that not only meet the needs of our customers but also support a healthier planet. This honor affirms our goal to reinvigorate the fresh produce aisle with vibrant and versatile fresh carrot products."
