Waitrose to sell 'wonky' fruit and vegetables after farmers hit by drought

Waitrose has announced it will begin selling 'wonky' fruit and veg in a bid to help out farmers who have been hit by the recent heatwave.

The premium UK supermarket giant has confirmed that it will be relaxing its size and shape guidance on a variety of new season fresh produce to support growers who have affected by the drier conditions recently.

It means that shoppers will find 'misshapen' seasonal produce such as potatoes, carrots, strawberries, apples, pears and peppers being sold as part of the supermarket's pioneering "A Little Less Than Perfect Range."
