01 Nov 2022 --- Lidl GB is extending its range of “Prevented Ocean Plastic” (POP) food packaging to fresh meat ranges to prevent a littering amount equal to over 15 million plastic water bottles annually. From this week, Lidl’s 400g and XXL 667g Deluxe sausages are now packaged in trays containing a minimum of 30% POP. Therefore, households can help to prevent single-use plastic waste from entering our seas. The sausages are RSPCA assured and certified to Red Tractor standard (QMS standard in Scotland). Amali Bunter, Lidl GB’s head of responsible sourcing and ethical trade, says: “As the first UK supermarket to launch packaging using POP, we are proud to have now prevented the equivalent of over 15 million plastic water bottles from entering the ocean.”
