Is this something yet to come into law? I find it very hard to buy the vegetables I want at German supermarkets because they so often come wrapped in plastic sets of three. Even bananas have a substantial amount of sticky tape around them.

Is it always plastic, though? Might be cellophane instead, which is not plastic and especially suited for packaging food.

Plastic shopping bags are regulated. The supermarket packaging madness is ripe for regulation.
