I don't think this is mandatory but government have been lobbying with supermarkets and they agreed to add doors about 8 years ago, probably to avoid being forced with a total ban.
You still see some small doorless fridges with high margin quick grab products but you no longer need to wear a coat when you go near the fresh or frozen department.
- londons_explore 4y agoPart of this is not energy savings, but food safety - doorless fridges often have some products near the front that aren't kept to the required sub-5C. Meat products often require 0-3C nowadays too, which is an even narrower range and even harder to meet across all products in a doorless fridge. Lower and more precise temperatures reduces food waste, which indirectly reduces both costs and energy use.
