Shoppers will be asked to use their judgement as to whether fruit and veg has gone off.
The Co-op is to remove best before dates from many fruit and vegetables in a bid to reduce food waste.
From next week, the Co-op will remove best before dates from more than 150 fresh products, including apples, broccoli, carrots, onions, oranges, potatoes and tomatoes.The move follows a trial last year on 20 products.The Co-op group, which has 2,500 UK grocery stores, will instead use encrypted codes - a series of letters and numbers - for workers in stores to keep track of how long produce has been on the shelf.
It said customers should use their judgement as to whether fresh fruit and vegetables at home had gone off., it is important for people to know the difference between best before and use by dates. Adele Balmforth, propositions director at the Co-op, said the UK was facing "a climate, environmental and cost-of-living crisis" but its removal of best before dates would help customers cut food waste.
