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 Tesco plans to give away food which is about to go out of date at absolutely no cost.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 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.

Tesco is set to launch a new scheme allowing customers to snap up free food in Express stores after 9:30pm. The supermarket giant will offer items marked "Reduced to Clear" at no cost as part of a trial aimed at reducing food waste.
