Sainsbury’s becomes latest supermarket to scrap ‘best before’ dates on fruit and veg – here’s what other stores are doing too

Asda has become the latest supermarket to scrap ‘best before’ dates on fruit and veg in a bid to cut down on food waste. It joins Marks & Spencer which axed the labels in July, and also Waitrose which will can them from September.
