Popular bakery Greggs has announced that it will be ditching all of its pasties and rebranding the pastry snacks as 'bakes' instead.

Although all of the products will remain the same, the 'pasty' namesake will be removed from all of them apart from one – and it's not even Cornish.

Greggs confirmed that its beef and vegetable pasty – which has already undergone one name change after the Cornish pasty gained protected status, meaning it could only be referred to as Cornish if it had been made in Cornwall – will still be called a pasty.

Earlier this year it had been reported that the company could be considering opening a branch in Cornwall.

After rumours suggested that the bakery and Subway were both going to open stores in Bodmin town centre, here's what the companies had to say .

The news, reported by The Chronicle Live, comes as an attempt to "keep things simple" for customers.

Until the name change, a variety of pastry products have been known as pasties, while other pasty snacks have been called bakes or lattices. The name change will bring the products together.

Speaking to The Chronicle Live, Malcolm Copland, Commercial Director at Greggs said: "With over 1,800 shops and different names for similar products such as pasties, bakes and lattices, we have decided to align the names and call them bakes.

"We're not changing the recipe – they'll still taste the same, we're just calling them bakes to help keep it simple for our customers."
