27 Apr 2022 --- Co-op is scrapping use by dates on all its own-brand yogurts to reduce food waste and combat the 42,000 metric tons and £100 million (US$125 million) worth of edible yogurt thrown out by UK homes each year. The move – said to be an industry-first– will see the UK convenience retailer replace on-pack “use by” guidance with “best before” dates on its entire range of own-brand yogurts, which it says will help shoppers prevent unnecessary food waste at home.
