Major change coming to Sainsbury’s bakery affecting croissants, doughnuts and baguettes [Video]

The smell of freshly baked bread when you walk into a Sainsbury’s is enough to entice anyone into the bakery aisle.

Before you know it, you’re leaving armed with croissants and munching on a pretzel.

And now, the supermarket has announced a major change to it’s bakery offering, which will impact pastries, doughnuts and baguettes.

In an effort to reduce their plastic waste, all of Sainsbury’s doughnuts and pastries which were previously sold in plastic clam-shell style packaging, are switching to cardboard and paper packaging.
