No dates on Tesco veg
We popped into Tesco today to see if there was anything we could buy that will last until the big day. I am not sure if it is a new thing but they no longer print 'sell by' or 'use by' dates on their veg. I asked the woman stacking the shelves why this was and she said it is Tesco's new policy to save on food waste.
'Fair enough' I said, so how long will these parsnips last then?'
She assured me that they will last until the 25th. I told her that they needed to put a sign up because customers were putting them back because there was no date on them.
The idea is that food tends to last longer than the date printed on the packet but it gets left behind in the shop. My idea in that case would be to extend the date rather than remove it.
What do you think?
