Asda has announced a major change to over half of its own-brand yoghurts, following the Co-op in a bid to reduce food waste. The supermarket is removing ‘Use By’ dates and replacing them with ‘Best Before’ dates to prevent perfectly sound food from heading into the bin.
The change follows Asda’s removal of Best Before dates on almost 250 of its fresh fruit and vegetables products late last year including citrus fruits, potatoes, cauliflowers and carrots, after news the average household waste £700 worth of food a year.
Over the next few weeks customers will notice the label change on around 28 products such as Asda natural yoghurt, Greek Yoghurt and Extra Special Strawberry and Hazelnut.
