Food enthusiasts have taken to social media to criticize a specific takeaway container, branding it a ‘curse to society.’ The cardboard bowl, often used by establishments to serve food, has been accused of being overpriced, with users claiming they have paid as much as £15 for mediocre meals. Despite the criticism, the containers are offered as a more eco-friendly alternative to plastic boxes and reduce the workload of restaurant staff.

The Environmental Protection Department has clarified that patrons consuming sushi within the supermarket where they purchased it fall under the definition of “takeaways.” This ruling follows complaints regarding inconsistent enforcement of the dine-in policy at supermarkets. The department emphasized that the use of plastic boxes and lids for takeaway sushi remains permissible under current regulations.
