Best before dates are being removed from packs of supermarket fresh fruit and vegetables in the UK, leaving consumers to use their common sense to decide when they are no longer fit to eat.
Tesco is removing dates from 70 of its own brand lines, after campaigners said that they confuse shoppers and encourage food waste.
Other supermarkets are set to follow the example.
COnsumers apparently get muddled between best before and use by dates on packaging. Using a bit of nous, and your eyes and nose, is always a good idea where food is concerned.
