UK supermarket chain Sainsbury’s has replaced its own-brand mince beef product with vacuum packaging, and shoppers are slamming the controversial new move.
Sainsbury’s announced that it would be removing traditional plastic tray packaging across its entire beef mince range in February. Its vacuum-packed alternative uses a minimum of 55% less plastic, forming part of the supermarket’s wider goal of halving plastic packaging in its Own Brand range by 2025.
