Waitrose follow M&S and Tesco in making major change to fruit and veg aisle to reduce waste
01.08.2022 - 14:01 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Waitrose has followed in the footsteps of Marks and Spencer and Tesco to remove "best before" dates on a number of fresh food products in a bid to reduce food waste. Nearly 500 items will see dates scrapped from packaging from as early as Septemberr.
Packaged fruit and vegetables will no longer include a best before date, meaning customers will have to to use their own judgment about when food has gone off.
The grocery giant claims the move will eliminate millions of baskets' worth of food waste, by preventing people throwing away products that are still edible.

Tesco led the way for the high street supermarkets when it got rid of the dates on more than 100 fresh food products in 2018. And earlier this month, Marks & Spencer axed "best before" dates from more than 300 fruit and vegetable products following a successful trial.
Marija Rompani, director of sustainability and ethics at John Lewis Partnership, which owns Waitrose, said: "UK households throw away 4.5 million tonnes of edible food every year, meaning that all the energy and resources used in food production is wasted.
"By removing best before dates from our products, we want our customers to use their own judgment to decide whether a product is good to eat or not, which in turn will increase its chances of being eaten and not becoming waste. By using up existing fresh food in our homes, we can also save on our weekly household food shop, which is becoming an increasingly pressing concern for many."
Best before dates are designed to show food quality rather than how safe it is eat, Waitrose said, whereas "use by" dates are given for safety and could result in food poisoning
