Shoppers have expressed their outrage after Sainsbury's introduced a new vaccum pack form of packaging for its mince.
The supermarket giant previously announced that it will replace traditional plastic tray packaging across its beef mince range and replace it with a vacuum-packed alternative. According to the chain, the new packaging could save up to 450 tonnes of plastic each year.
It's one of the latest moves in Sainsbury's initiative to halve all of its plastic packaging use in Own Brand products by 2025. Claire Hughes, Director of Product and Innovation ad Sainsbury's, highlighted the reason behind the new packaging.
