27 Mar 2020 --- The global coronavirus outbreak is causing significant disruption in the fresh produce supply chain and concerns around the potential contamination of unpacked foodstuffs when handled. This is according to reports by StePac, an Israeli-based specialist in functional packaging for fresh produce. StePac is promoting the shelf-life-extending capabilities of its portfolio amid calls from The European Organization for Packaging and the Environment (EUROPEN) for the European Commission to recognize packaging as critical to the uninterrupted flow of perishable goods.
