Mug Shot

How ethical and sustainable is Mug Shot? 

Mug Shot is included in The Good Shopping Guide’s Soups Ethical Ratings Table. Mug Shot has yet to meet our ethical standards, but we believe that in the future, the brand will make the necessary changes to function as a more ethical organisation. Mug Shot might increase consumer trust by applying for Ethical Accreditation, which would include a more complete examination and suggestions for ethical development.

What does Mug Shot do?

Mug Shot is a brand owned by Symingtons which produces a range of food on the go. The brand offers Pasta, noodles and soups in a range of different flavours such as tomato & herb, original curry and chicken & mushroom. Mug Shot is offered in either sachet form, pots or mighty pots depending on what the customer wants. These can be purchased from most major supermarket retailers as well as B&M, Home Bargains and Amazon.

For which criteria does Mug Shot perform poorly?

Mug Shot received a low rating for its Environmental Report as parent company Symingtons has an extremely basic Sustainability page that only briefly mentions packaging and waste. For a large company the environmental information provided is not good enough. Mug Shots are also not Organic or Vegetarian safe products.

In what areas does Mug Shot score well for its ethics?

Mug Shot receives a high score for its Genetic Modification Policy as it is stated that Symington does not purchase or use any Genetically Modified Ingredients.

How can Mug Shot improve its ethical rating?

The Ethical rating of a brand is divided into three categories by The Good Shopping Guide: the Environment, People and Animals. Find out more about how we rate.

Mug Shot may improve its rating and fulfil our fundamental ethical requirements by releasing a strong Environmental report detailing evidence of progress and detailed targets.
