Instead of a plastic bag, the company calls for customers to use a reusable container.
The packaging update marks the first step of Shake ‘N Bake’s effort towards sustainability, as 73% of consumers opted for lesser plastic.
Shake ‘N Bake brand manager Brianna Galvin said: “As a family staple for over 50 years, we are proud to evolve with the world around us, ushering in a new effort to help our brand – and our fans – take steps toward a more sustainable future.
“While the ‘shaker’ bag is an important part of our legacy, our product is just as effective and delicious without the plastic waste, and we are excited for all the good to come from this simple yet effective packaging change.”
