Abstract
A plastic bag for produce such as potatoes comprises first and second plastic walls peripherally bonded together. A central plastic wall is positioned between the first and second walls, being peripherally bonded to them. The central plastic wall is opaque to substantially block the passage of light therethrough. Thus, potato greening can be avoided while they are stored in the bag even under bright, fluorescent light.
