The saving has been made by switching from the traditional square block shape to oblong packaging and also by removing the current re-sealable zip.
The 260 ton saving will also be achieved by Tesco ditching the plastic trays in which these cheeses are delivered and they will now be sent in a new cardboard shelf-ready format.
New 400g pack sizes are replacing 460g packs and both they and existing 220g packs have had their re-sealable zip removed.
Nearly 40 lines of Tesco’s own brand territorial hard cheeses have been re-formatted.
