Morrisons has teamed up with an app to offer boxes of unsold food that has reached its best before date, in a bid to cut down on food waste.

Customers of the grocer will be able to use the Too Good to Go app to purchase boxes of unsold fruit and vegetables, bakery and deli items worth at least £10 for as little as £3.09 across all of Morrisons 494 supermarkets nationwide from November 26.

This follows a trial with the app and is part of Morrisons’ pledge to reduce food waste across its network by 50% by 2030.

Morrisons said it expects to distribute 350,000 boxes of unsold food in 2020, which will reduce CO2 emissions by 882 tonnes.
