    I tried the mince in this new packaging even though it looked less than appealing. I found the mince to be reduced to mush. The texture was dreadful. I now buy my 5% mince elsewhere. I think far from reducing plastic ( which is recyclable), its about cheaper transport ( as it takes up less space) and increase shelf life
