In introducing its line of three organic bread varieties to East Coast consumers, Eureka! Organic Bread rolled out new packaging as well that complements its brand messaging of “being full of everything consumers want and less of what they don’t,” says Mike Jensen, Assistant Brand Manager at Bimbo Bakeries USA (BBU), owner of the Eureka! brand. The new polyethylene bread bag is made from 36% bio-based material, Braskem’s Green PE, made from sugarcane.

“Consumers react positively toward companies that use sustainable packaging,” says Jensen. “So as consumers were discovering Eureka! for the first time, we thought it would be the perfect time for them to also discover this new packaging technology. Braskem’s Green PE technology is in line with the wants and needs of the organic consumer.”

Eureka! Organic Bread is baked with organic whole grains and high-quality ingredients, and contains no artificial colors, preservatives, or high-fructose corn syrup. Packaging for the product displays the USDA Organic and Certified Vegan shields. First introduced in 2012 in 27-oz packaging, the bread made its way from the West Coast to the Pacific Northwest, and then to the East Coast in September 2014 in the new packaging, sold in major grocery retailers.
