Troubleshooting

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct humidity, as bagasse is designed to be breathable and may absorb ambient moisture.
Food is leaking through the plate
Ensure the product is not left in contact with high-moisture liquids for excessive periods beyond normal meal times, as it is compostable and designed for consumption rather than long-term storage.
