Tesco made the drastic call this month to ditch the plastic hummus lids, getting rid of more than 31 million pieces from its stores.
British shoppers fear a supermarket's 'eco friendliness has gone too far' after it axed millions of plastic lids from hummus pots and replaced them with 'flimsy' covers.
Author Laura Pearson took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to say: 'I'm so baffled about Tesco removing the plastic lid from hummus and replacing it with a flimsy plastic cover which requires me to now cover it with clingfilm or similar.
The spokesman added: 'We have recently removed the lids on our hummus pots as part of our ongoing efforts to tackle plastic waste. This latest change will remove more than 31 million pieces of plastic – equivalent to 157 tonnes of plastic a year.'Another person added: 'You could try making hummus - it's very easy.'
Hummus pots are not the only food item subject to change with regular shoppers noting a number of yoghurt pots and other dips have also shed their plastic lids in recent months.
