Sell-by dates are to be dropped in an attempt to reduce the �12bn of food we bin yearly. Will this change your behaviour?
Sell-by dates on food packaging are going to be ditched to stop consumers throwing away food unnecessarily, the government has announced. The guidance, produced by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, means that packaging will now carry only "use by" or "best before" dates in a bid to cut the �12bn worth of food needlessly discarded every year.
Will this change in legislation have an impact on how you purchase and consume food? Are you one of those people who sticks religiously to the sell-by date? Do you have any preservation tips? What other ways can you think of to help reduce the amount of food we waste?
