Lotte Food Switches 'Pasteur I Saenggak' Delivery Baby Food to Eco-Friendly Packaging

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Lotte Foods announced on the 24th that it will carry out the "Good Baby Food Campaign" by removing the plastic lids from the delivery baby food containers of "Pasteur I Saenggak" and switching the delivery packaging from styrofoam to paper. The price of the delivery baby food will also be reduced, with the intention of returning part of the cost savings from switching to eco-friendly packaging to customers.

Lotte Foods expects to reduce approximately 24 tons of plastic usage annually by removing the plastic lids from baby food containers. Additionally, unnecessary ice packs have been removed, and eco-friendly paper boxes have been applied instead of styrofoam ice boxes, switching to room temperature delivery. Pasteur I Saenggak baby food is aseptic baby food that undergoes a high-temperature, high-pressure sterilization process, so there is no problem delivering it at room temperature. The shelf life of aseptic baby food is 90 days at room temperature.

Lotte Foods will return part of the cost savings from reducing plastic and switching to room temperature delivery to customers. The price of one meal (two 90g packs) of I Saenggak delivery baby food has been reduced by 100 KRW. The reduced price ranges from 4,200 to 5,800 KRW per meal depending on the baby food stage. Customers currently using the regular delivery service for baby food will be given Lotte Food Mall coupons worth up to 8,000 KRW depending on the remaining quantity.

A Lotte Foods representative said, "The I Saenggak Good Baby Food Campaign is a campaign not only for healthy and good food but also to pass on a better future," adding, "We will continue ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management to find ways to protect the environment in various areas for future generations."
