Waitrose is removing best-before dates from nearly 500 fresh food products in an effort to reduce food waste.
From September, the staff-owned supermarket chain will scrap the dates on packaged fruit and vegetables, including lettuce, cucumber and peppers, to encourage consumers to use their own judgment about when food has gone off.
The move is expected to cut food waste by preventing people from throwing away products that are still edible, the retailer says.
