The supermarket chain defended the packaging, stating that it uses 55% less plastic and saves over 450 tonnes of plastic a year
Shoppers have expressed their outrage after Sainsbury's introduced a new vaccum pack form of packaging for its mince.
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. "We know our customers expect us to be reducing the use of plastic across our products are and we're constantly looking for new ways to innovate to meet our Plan for Better plastic reduction targets," she said. "We strive to be bold in the changes we are making, which is why we’re pleased to be the first UK retailer to vacuum pack all our beef mince range without impacting the quantity or great quality of product that our customers expect.
Despite this, many Sainsbury's shoppers have claimed that the new packaging has reduced the quality of the Own Brand beef mince. One user on Twitter, @RobCooper82, wrote: "@sainsburys, I think you need to revert back to the old packaging. The meat is now awful to cook with and eat. I gave it ago and now won't buy it again."
