Aldi to make major change to own-label fruit and vegetables by the end of the year

Aldi has announced it is set to become the latest supermarket to ditch 'best before' dates from a host of its own fresh produce in-stores.

The German discounted supermarket chain has said it plans to axe the dates from 60 of its own-branded lines of fruit and vegetables in a bid to help households tackle food waste.

Shoppers can expect to see the labelling changes across apples and pears, citrus fruits, potatoes, carrots and onions by the end of this year. It is the latest supermarket to ditch the 'best before' labels following criticism from climate change groups that they were "unnecessary" and "contributed towards climate change."
