Rejected petition: Stop the sale of mincemeat in vacuum packaging
Rejected on
We request that the ground meat be returned to its original packaging. The vacuum-sealed product has been met with disfavor due to concerns regarding its cooking properties and flavor profile.
Vacuum packaging mincemeat is a structural travesty By extracting every pocket of air you aren’t just preserving meat you are crushing the texture into a dense rubbery brick.
Proper mincemeat requires the aeration provided by traditional modified atmosphere packaging to maintain its granular integrity. Your current methods force consumers to massage a congealed mass back to life ruining the mouthfeel Stop prioritizing shelflife over culinary quality Return to breathable standards immediately
