Tesco is to begin a trial giving expiring food to customers for free at the end of the day as it tries to cut food waste. The supermarket will give away some already discounted "yellow sticker" items after 21:30 in some of its smaller Express stores in coming months.

A major British supermarket will hand out food for free in a bid to reduce food waste and hit net zero goals. Tesco plans to give away food which is about to go out of date at absolutely no cost. The cost-slashing yellow sticker will be revolutionised and mean the item is completely free after 9.

Tesco is giving away surplus food to customers in a new trial across some of its Express convenience stores. It will see shoppers offered any remaining yellow-stickered goods for free at the end of the day after they have been offered to charities and colleagues first.

Tesco aims to slash waste by 50% by 2025 - a target that will go towards determining the share-based bonus for CEO Ken Murphy.

While all major supermarket chains partner with food banks and community groups to redistribute surplus food and offer discounts on expiring items, Tesco's initiative appears to be the first direct-to-customer scheme of its kind in the UK.
