The Co-op is to remove best before dates from many fruit and vegetables in a bid to reduce food waste.
The company said taking the dates off its fresh produce would help shoppers save money and help the environment.
It said food stored in the fridge would keep for much longer than best before dates indicated.
Bigger national supermarkets, including Sainsbury's and Asda, made similar moves last year.
From next week, the Co-op will remove best before dates from more than 150 fresh products, including apples, broccoli, carrots, onions, oranges, potatoes and tomatoes.
Yeah, makes sense... I've never really paid attention to the dates on fruit and vegetables, and just eaten them if they looked safe to eat!
(Of course, that doesn't work with every food and drink - but it generally does with fruit )
