It is pre-washed, cleaned and packaged to fit anywhere, including a standard car cup holder. Each container provides one tasty serving of fruits or veggies based on the Five-a-Day-Plan."What's truly unique about Sweet 'N Easy produce is that it fills a void for consumers who want healthy snacking on the go," said David Aupperle, Sweet 'N Easy brand produce marketing director. "Sweet 'N Easy can be dropped into a lunch box, gym bag, cup holder or purse – ready to take anywhere you need to go."

New products in the Sweet 'N Easy produce line will be introduced into test market starting in 2005, eventually growing to a portfolio of up to 10 to 12 fruits and vegetables.Sweet 'N Easy brand produce is grown in climates that allow for consistent great taste year-round.
