Same brand of soup, but one soup package has a slightly different shape and a different folding.

    Ah and so the SIG, Tetrapak war still wages on

    It’s actually a cost thing, SIG usually comes in to a much lower installation and running cost, where Tetrapak is aseptic and has a longer shelf life.

      Or they’re switching packaging, and one is selling less / more than the others so is from the older / new packaging.

        You’re right.

        These soups are only produced in one place: Arla Foods Esbjerg, Denmark, and they’re only sold on the Swedish market.

        Arla works with both packaging manufacturers SIG and Tetra Pak from Switzerland and Sweden respectively.

        There’s been many changes to Arla’s packaging designs during the last few years, because they pledged to make 100% recycable packaging by 2025.

    I’m just surprised that the colour theme of Forest Mushroom Soup is Concrete Garage by Fluorescent Light. Not really my association to forest mushroom.

    Thought this was Mildly Annoying, and I would have agreed. As a retail stocker, the shelf expects them to all be the same, but the one that’s a slightly different shape usually doesn’t fit as many as the rest. It’s even worse when companies decide to change the packaging for the same product, like Stouffers, and I have to spend an extra five seconds determining if the items are the same or aren’t.

      That’s probably because Aldi is buying it from several different producers (processors, packagers, or bottlers. Not sure the appropriate title) that apply Aldi’s branding (or whomever) to the package.
