Asda has told shoppers of a big change that is going to affect around 250 products in a few days' time. From September 1, the retail giant will remove 'best before' dates from many of the fruits and vegetables it sells.
This means people buying potatoes, cauliflowers, citrus fruits and carrots from its UK stores will no longer be told when they are 'best before'. It's part of a movement that has seen other retailers make the same decision to help customers cut waste and save money, Manchester Evening News reports.
It follows the Waste & Resources Action Programme (Wrap) saying that ‘best before’ dates on fruit and vegetables are unnecessary and contribute to climate change. Wrap figures suggest that the average family throws away £60 worth of food and drink each month
