To provide a method for preventing fungi emerging when carrying out MA wrapping of vegetables and fruits from emerging, and further to provide a package.

This method for preventing the fungi of the vegetables and fruits comprises substituting the interior of the package with carbon dioxide gas so that the concentration of the carbon dioxide gas in the package just after the substitution with the gas is ≥60%, and keeping the concentration of the carbon dioxide gas at ≥30% for at least 24 hr and maximum 72 hr. The package has 20-3.0×105 cc/package.day.atm permeation rate of the carbon dioxide gas and 20-3.0×105 cc/package.day.atm permeation rate of oxygen, regulated so as to satisfy the relation of 0.9<(the permeation rate of the carbon dioxide gas)/(the permeation rate of the oxygen)<10, and includes the vegetables and fruits sealed therein. The package of the vegetables and fruits is obtained by the method.
