What about packed lunches?

The proposed ban on single-use condiment sachets, as outlined in the government's plans, specifically targets restaurants and other food service establishments. It does not extend to items bought in supermarkets for home use or packed lunches. The focus is on reducing plastic waste generated by businesses, rather than individual consumers.
