http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/sellby-dates-to-be-canned-in-war-on-wasted-food-2355033.html - 15 September 2011 09:59126565Food labelling is all very confusing as it is, I heard on the radio this morning that 5 million tons of eatable foods are thrown away each year..un-necessarily.. because Jo Public including yours truly have trouble following the instructions. Any clarification will be good.
Also another problem, no matter what it says on the label I cant read it because some of the printing is so small, its tiny quite often, part of the problem when you get on a bit is you just cant read it. I call for bigger printing.
You cant read the things in the supermarket, you would need to walk around with those super strength but ever so weird eye-glasses, you know..the ones that make your eyeballs look enormous.email: dover7@msn.com - 15 September 2011 11:37126572I heard this morning on the news that "an average household throws out £700 worth of food per year !!!!
Really !!!! £14 a week AVERAGE - what then does the wasteful person throw out !!!
I am amazed if this is true.---------------------------------------------------
