No dates on Tesco veg
We popped into Tesco today to see if there was anything we could buy that will last until the big day. I am not sure if it is a new thing but they no longer print 'sell by' or 'use by' dates on their veg. I asked the woman stacking the shelves why this was and she said it is Tesco's new policy to save on food waste.'Fair enough' I said, so how long will these parsnips last then?'
She assured me that they will last until the 25th. I told her that they needed to put a sign up because customers were putting them back because there was no date on them.
The idea is that food tends to last longer than the date printed on the packet but it gets left behind in the shop. My idea in that case would be to extend the date rather than remove it.
What do you think?

Re: No dates on Tesco veg
What if you'd gone to a market?Do you think there'd be sell by dates on the veg?
Our mothers and grandmothers didn't need sell by dates for veg and neither should we...veg keep for ages in a cool place.
Use your fingers and your nose and your eyes (expecting rude comments now!)

I suppose normally it wouldn't matter as we tend to buy stuff daily and obviously you can tell if it is about to go off or not, I don't suppose I ever really look at the date but the lead up to Christmas is different.
Anyway, I bought the parsnips so if they don't last till the 25th, it will be me wasting them and not the shop.

Please refrain from picking your nose before handling the veg.
