Hopeful customers will be able to book a 2-hour table from 6pm on October 6 and 7<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, in a victory for The Mail on Sunday\u2019s War On Food Waste campaign, which aims to cut the amount of food being discarded in households by 30 per cent, the Co-op announced it would remove\u00a0best-before dates from hundreds of their products<\/p>\n<p>More than 150 items, including apples, oranges, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, onions and broccoli.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Encrypted codes are used to ensure the produce sold is fresh, and customers are encouraged to use their common sense, with on-pack messaging telling households that if the fresh fruit and veg looks and feels good enough to eat, then it is.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since 2019, food retailers have been advised that milk, yogurt and other dairy products can now show a best-before label rather than a use-by date, unless there is a food safety risk.<\/p>\n<p>But the labels, which refer only to a product\u2019s quality, have been blamed for customers throwing away good food because they are mistaken for use-by dates, which indicate food safety.<\/p>\n<p>Product-life testing by the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) showed that fruit and veg can be good to eat well beyond the best-before date when stored in optimal conditions.<\/p>\n<p>For broccoli, the difference between the best-before date and the first sign of deterioration was found to be 15 days. For potatoes it was 20 days, and with apples it was in excess of 70 days.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12596725\/BAFTA-winning-presenter-food-waste-pop-restaurant-bid-tackle-food-waste.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big Zuu launches pop-up restaurant with meals made from the UK&#8217;s most throwaway ingredients in a bid to tackle food<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":99658,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
