A SUPERMARKET giant has confirmed it will be selling out of date food for 20p in a bid to crack down on food waste.
In its plans, the Co-Op has decided to sell a variety of food products at the reduced price - all of which will be safe for consumption.
Items including fruits, vegetables and even pasta will be available from the bargain price at selected stores in the south in efforts to crack down on the five million tonnes of edible food thrown away every year in the UK.
The initiative is part of the chain’s ‘Reducing out Footprint’ project which launches this week and places emphasis on best before dates.
