Lidl has been praised by shoppers after announcing a major change to its fresh fruit and vegetables. The supermarket revealed it would be supporting suppliers across the UK by selling produce affected by the recent droughts.
Due to the hottest and driest weather seen in half a century, many crops have become stunted this summer. The supermarket chain said the change will help to "prevent perfectly good, quality produce from going to waste because of variations in specifications, for example a different size to what shoppers are typically used to”, reports Manchester Evening News.
Customers quick to praise the move, with many taking to Twitter to share their approval. @ThoroughBrit said: "Wonderful, I miss all those peculiar shapes we saw when I was growing up, tasted just as good and so much better for the growers, less waste. Bring it on!"
