It is hoped the move to scrap the dates will prevent food waste.Supermarket Waitrose will remove"best before" dates on nearly 500 fresh food products - and instead encourage shoppers to use their own judgement.food wasteEarlier this month, Marks & Spencer axed"best before" dates from more than 300 of its fruit and vegetable products following a successful trial.
However, 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. 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.
