Council drops caseon packaging waste

A bid to prosecute supermarket giant Sainsbury's over excess packaging has been dropped.

A store in Tritton Road, Lincoln, was being prosecuted by Lincolnshire County Council Trading Standards for having too much packaging on a Taste the Difference joint of beef.

The council now says it was “no longer in the public interest” after Sainsbury’s had recently reduced the packaging on the beef product.
