20 Jul 2022 --- Marks & Spencer (M&S) is removing best-before dates from over 300 fruit and vegetable products, representing 85% of the UK retailer’s produce offering, to help reduce in-store and household food waste. The selected products will include “commonly wasted” items such as apples, potatoes and broccoli. The dates will be replaced with a new code that M&S store colleagues will use to maintain freshness and quality.The change, which was rolled out across all M&S UK stores this week, is designed to encourage customers to throw away less edible food at home by using their judgment.
