What is the Produce Repackaged trend?

Produce Repackaged: Tackling the issue of marketing products that are largely stagnant, updating packaging for produce is a way brands have been able to reinvigorate interest in the good. Because packaging itself isn't the norm when it comes to much of the fresh produce market, any shift in this direction helps companies stand out on the shelf.
