Sainsbury's 'inappropriate' meat packaging is putting some shoppers off their food
29.03.2023 - 19:07 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Supermarket shoppers are taking aim at Sainsbury's after the retailer made a packaging change that affects all stores. The new packaging, which has been described as 'inappropriate', has turned some shoppers off their food entirely.
In a bid to help the environment, Sainsbury's ditched plastic packaging for some of its minced beef products. Instead, the beef mince is now sold in tight vacuum packed packaging.
The move has affected its beef mince range and saved a massive 450 tonnes of plastic annually. It’s a first for a UK supermarket and will result in a minimum 55 per cent reduction in plastic per product.

The eco-move comes as recent environmental reports have been dire reading and one, towards the end of last year, warned that the UK was close to an “irreversible” climate breakdown.
Meanwhile more recently, the United Nations chief called on polluting developed nations like the UK to “fast forward” net zero targets by a decade to 2040 - warning the “climate time bomb is ticketing”.
But one shopper complained the new mince packaging meant the food was “not mince at all now”. They moaned that it “comes apart in lumps” in a review on the grocer’s website.
Another said: “It’s a sticky lump of goo, all the texture gone in the vacuum. The new packaging is inappropriate for a freeflow minced beef product. The product has now been destroyed and is now a slab of compressed meat," claimed a third.
A spokesperson for Sainsbury's said: “We are always looking for new ways to innovate packaging to meet our ambitious plastic reduction targets. Our new vacuum-packed beef mince packaging uses 55% less plastic and saves over 450 tonnes of plastic
