Aldi announces packaging date change for all own brand products

Aldi has announced plans to remove best before dates from a selection of its own brand products as part of efforts to help tackle food waste in homes. The plan was announced by the supermarket on Friday, September 2, and by the end of the year it will have removed the best before dates from around 60 of its fresh fruit and veg lines.

This will include apples and pears, citrus fruits, potatoes, carrots and onions, which could help households to save on food waste each year. The plans to scrap the best before dates are part of Aldi's commitment to reduce food waste by 20% by 2025 and then halve it by 2030. The supermarket has partnered with Neighbourly to donate 700,000 meals during the summer holidays, and also the Too Good To Go app. Which will see products that are approaching their use-by date collated into ‘Magic Bags’ containing at least £10 worth of groceries, which customers can buy for just £3.30 each via the app.

“This latest step, together with our partnerships with Neighbourly and Too Good To Go, is all part of our efforts to provide affordable, sustainable and responsible products for all our customers.”
