UK supermarkets are removing best before dates on many foods to reduce waste, as these dates often mislead consumers about safety.
UK supermarkets are removing best before dates from fruits, vegetables, dry goods, and tinned items to cut food waste, as many consumers wrongly think food is unsafe after the date.
Experts stress these dates reflect quality, not safety, and food is often still edible afterward.
Use by dates, however, indicate safety limits for perishables like meat and dairy.
Sell by and display until dates are for inventory, not safety.
The change aims to reduce waste by encouraging consumers to use smell, sight, and storage guidance instead.
