Britain’s Co-operative Group has announced plans to scrap use-by dates from all of its own-brand yoghurt SKUs, to prevent food waste. The retailer plans to replace use-by dates with best-before dates on packs, which, it notes, will help shoppers to prevent unnecessary food waste at home. Co-op added that it will commence the roll-out of best-before dates from May and have the full range amended by October 2022. Use-by dates on yoghurts are linked to food safety and guide shoppers to not consume past a specified date, whereas best-before dates refer to the quality, and often allow for the food to be eaten after a specified date.
