To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer by Lord Gardiner of Kimble on 7 December (HL Deb, cols 728–9), what progress the Waste and Resources Action Programme is making on clarifying date-labelling.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer by Lord Gardiner of Kimble on 7 December (HL Deb, cols 728–9), what progress the Waste and Resources Action Programme is making on clarifying date-labelling.
The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) worked with the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Defra in 2010 to produce guidance to industry on best practice in the application of date labels on food. WRAP has also worked with retailers and manufacturers through the Courtauld Commitment to help improve labelling. Defra published data labelling guidance in 2011.
WRAP has made significant progress. Many fewer products now have two dates on the same pack (for example a ‘sell by’ or ‘display date’ as well as ‘best before’ or ‘use by’), which was a major cause of confusion. WRAP also found that hard cheeses such as cheddar sometimes had a ‘best before’ date and sometimes a ‘use by’ date, and through working with Dairy UK and others there is now much more consistency with ‘best before’ being used, giving consumers flexibility to eat the product after the date if they have not eaten it in time.
WRAP also works through Love Food Hate Waste to help consumers to understand better the meaning of dates, and the information on labels more generally, to help them to get more out of the food they buy.
WRAP is working with the FSA and Defra to support industry implementing more changes to help people waste less of the food they buy, through clearer date labelling and, for example, more effective storage and freezing advice.
