Sainsbury's has become the latest supermarket to announce a major change to its food packaging which will affect 276 own-branded fresh products in stores.
The supermarket chain has confirmed it will be axing 'best before' dates from a whole host of fresh fruit and vegetables, including pears, onions, tomatoes, and citrus fruits from over 100 product lines, with a further 130 products including potatoes to follow.
Shoppers can expect to see the labelling changes from the end of August in a move the supermarket has said will help them to eliminate 17 million food products going to waste each year.
