Designed for two chicken fillets, the new pack has separate compartments for each fillet, with a tear seal between the two.
The company plans to introduce the new pack to stores countrywide at no extra cost to customers.
Due to a recent Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) report, 1.9 million tonnes of food is wasted in the UK grocery supply chain each year.
However, the WRAP report stated that only a small portion of the 1.9 million tonnes is wasted during retail operations.
