‘Use the sniff test’: Morrisons to scrap use by dates from milk packaging

Supermarket hopes to stop hundreds of millions of pints being wasted as charities call for other retailers to remove date labels

Morrisons will remove use-by" dates from milk packaging at the end of the month in an attempt to save millions of pints from being thrown away unnecessarily every year.
