Aldi has announced plans to remove best before dates from around 60 of its own brand food items. The plans come as the supermarket tries to help tackle food waste in homes - following similar bans recently from Tesco and Sainsbury's.
By the end of the year, the major supermarket will remove best before dates from around 60 fresh fruit and veg lines, including apples and pears, citrus fruits, potatoes, carrots and onions, which could help households to save on food waste each year, reports Birmingham Live.
The move forms part of Aldi’s commitment to reduce food waste by 20% by 2025 and halve it by 2030. As part of its food waste reduction programme, the supermarket has partnered with Neighbourly to donate 700,000 meals during the summer holidays.
