Since moving back here I've started to shop at Tesco regularly.
I often buy fruit and veg. which is reduced because over the sell buy date. No problems up to now, apart from a little damage on a new Jersey potato today.

I like sell-by-dates so I can go through the produce and pick out the freshest. However I wouldn't throw food away just because it was past its sell-by date if it looked ok.

I wouldn't look for a sell by date on celery or any other vegetable , just look and a surreptitious squeeze would indicate if I wanted to buy

Picked up a package of celery today in Tesco and couldn’t find its sell-by-date even though it said it was ‘on the front’.
Found the fresh food manager who said their new policy was not to put on sell-by-dates as there was too much waste in their stores. He said it would be the same soon with meat although he personally didn’t like the idea and the same initiative (sic) was happening at Morrison’s and Sainsbury’s too. Apparently Tesco customers had said they buy fresh produce by sight not by sell-by-date! Well I don’t, and I want those sell-by-dates back, how about you?
