Morrisons To Remove ‘Use-By’ Date On Milk

UK retailer Morrisons plans to scrap ‘use-by’ dates on milk in a bid to prevent food waste, according to media reports.

The initiative will impact 90% of its private-label milk SKUs from British and Scottish farms, as well as organic milk.

It will replace ‘use-by’ dates with ‘best-before’ dates for milk products from Arla.

Household practices result in 290,000 tonnes of milk being thrown away annually in the UK, which includes ‘use-by’ dates, among other factors, according to recycling charity, Wrap.
