Fresh food logistics are horrible. Did fresh food online for a few years. Makes things almost impossible.

The smart companies try to extent the shelf life as long as possible. And make storage easy.

Plastic and chemicals are great for those.

Put some chemicals in that make your company profitable while the gov deems it safe? A no brainer.

Only non chemical alternative is the freezer.

Waxes are pretty natural chemicals, even when they're refined from oil. We used to use them all the time for fresh food storage. I assume they're more expensive than fluorinated packaging though.
