A top chef has criticized Tesco's hummus as 'atrociously bad' and advised consumers to make their own, following the supermarket's decision to replace the plastic lid on the dip with a 'flimsy' cover. Itamar Srulovich, co-owner of Middle Eastern restaurant Honey & Co, said making hummus at home is easy and takes seconds. Tesco made the packaging change in an effort to reduce plastic waste, but some customers have criticized the move, saying it leads to food waste and a shorter shelf life. Tesco defended the decision, stating that the change has no impact on the product's shelf life.
