Marks & Spencer is making a big change to a range of fresh food produce in stores by removing best before dates from its packaging.
The retailer is set to remove the dates from more than 300 fruit and vegetable products, including apples, potatoes and broccoli, in a move that will impact 85% of its produce. The major change will be rolled out to all M&S stores across the UK from this week.
The dates will be replaced with a new code which will be used by M&S store staff to help make sure that the products maintain their quality and freshness. The shake-up is aimed at tackling food waste both in-store and in homes.
