Aldi has become the latest supermarket to scrap best before dates across its fruit and vegetable offering.
The retailer will remove the dates from around 60 of its own-brand products by the end of the year, with citrus fruits, apples, pears, carrots, potatoes and onions all impacted. The move is part of Aldi's ongoing commitment to cut its food waste in half by 2030.
Sainsbury’s also announced that it was making the same major change to more product lines earlier this week, ditching date labels on 276 of its own-brand fresh products from the end of August with a further 130 products to follow. The supermarket said that the changes could save up to 17 million food products going to waste each year, The Mirror reports.
