Nisa trial removes best-before dates to reduce food wastage

Nisa is trialling the removal of best-before dates on fresh Co-op lines to help reduce food wastage.

The trial applies to 20 salad lines, encouraging customers to assess whether the product is still consumable.

The packaging will replace the best-before date with a two-digit code informing retailers of the month and day.
