The Country Hen, a producer of organic, Omega-3 eggs, will be transferring all product packaging from pulp to plastic. Notes the company, since egg shells are permeable, plastic packaging provides a better seal, protecting the freshness and quality of each egg. The updated packaging will ensure the high-quality eggs are delivered fresh to each retailer and household. Additionally, the see-through plastic packaging will allow for a clearer view of the product without having to open the container. The container is also more visually appealing, with a cleaner package label and logo for retailers, according to the company.
