Timeless

I am not a fan of this “no date” policy. As a shopper you have no idea how long the product has been on the shelf. It may help reduce waste ……for the supermarket. The risk of waste falls onto the consumer. At least with an indicative date you had a rough idea of the lifespan.

And how do you test if something is ready or is turning if you don’t have a date to help you? For example an avocado? You give it a light squeeze. If everyone gives it a light squeeze it will be bruised quickly.

It will be interesting to know if waste is actually reduced.

However to have “no date” on a packet of dates is taking things a bit far! Does that not contravene something in the Trades Description Act? (By the way, they were soft and succulent and now the description of “no date” is accurate.)
