Tesco to axe 'confusing' best before dates on its fruit and vegetables

Scores of retailer's own-brand items will have no date label in drive to reduce food waste

Tesco will scrap "confusing" best before dates on nearly 70 fresh fruit and vegetable products in its latest move to reduce food waste.

Shoppers will no longer find date labels on some of the retailer's own-brand apples, potatoes, tomatoes, lemons and onions, which it hopes will prevent them from being thrown away while still edible.
