How to avoid food waste

Use by  & Best Before dates

o When buying fresh products (cold cooked meats etc) always check where possible the dates on the packaging, try to always buy the longest date items.

o Never eat produce where the use buy date has been exceeded, this may make you ill.

o Best Before dates are generally a guide, the product will be safe to eat but may have lost some flavour/texture. But do not exceed these dates by too much. Always check the product for signs of mould or other deviations.
