Asda has made a major change to meat products in all stores and shoppers will be fuming

One user praised the move, commenting that vacuum packaging “made the meat mush” and caused it to look “unappealing”.

“Will definitely be getting our mince meat from [Iceland] from now on, since you’re the only retailer that seems to listen to customers,” they said.

Others agreed that the redesigned packaging “made the product look unappealing and horrible”, and that the return to plastic trays is a “good move”.

Other supermarkets have also ventured their way into the vacuum sealed packaging world.

Lidl’s transition into vacuum-packed beef mince was intended to lower its plastic consumption by 63% and save 250 tonnes every year.
