Sainsbury's customers have been expressing their dislike of the supermarket's new vacuum-packed beef mince
The packing uses a minimum of 55% less plastic as the company hopes to work towards its goal of"halving its use of plastic packaging in own-brand products by 2025".said the beef mince products were vacuum packed for"freshness" too - this is done by removing all oxygen, which"typically causes a product to eventually spoil".
The firm said the packing contains the same amount of beef mince but has reduced in size, which also enables branches to use fridge and freezer space more efficiently.Despite the eco-friendly move - many Twitter users had something to say about it. One user wrote:"The new packaging for your beef mince destroys the mince and squashes it to a mushy texture. It tastes horrible even my children noticed the difference."
