Gail's bakery chain has faced backlash for charging £4.60 for their 'Waste Not' croissants, which are essentially day-old pastries repurposed with extra toppings. Critics argue this pricing strategy contradicts the essence of combating food waste, suggesting the prices reflect profit-driven motives rather than genuine sustainability efforts.
Supporters of Gail's argue that the croissants have a sturdier texture when upcycled for rebaking, and that the 'Waste Not' initiative is about reducing food waste responsibly. They highlight the culinary practices involved in transforming unsold pastries and suggest that the bakery should be applauded, not criticized.
