Sainsbury’s is removing best-before stickers from fresh foods to reduce waste. Do you stick to sell-by dates?

I have never stuck to sell-by dates. Use the sniff test every time! Debbie Smith

Fruit and veg going past their best can be made into purees and soups. I’m careful with fish and meat and, if in any doubt, it doesn’t get eaten. Jacqui Gauld

This is about supermarke­ts selling food that’s out of date. It’s about saving them money, not us. Ian Larman

I don’t feel comfortabl­e eating out-of-date food. Donnie Arthur

My mum and aunt were in charge of a canteen and did not have sell-by dates, and I’m still here. Lorna Smith

If the wife puts it down to me it’s either fine, or perhaps she’s taken out extra life insurance on me... Allan Bryce

Does this mean no more bargain shelves with reduced prices for produce nearer their sell by dates? Ian Fraser

Dry goods, I’ll happily eat past the date, but anything else I’ll allow a couple of days. A friend told me the other day she ate ham that was a week past its date! Fiona Reid

A yoghurt I ate was three weeks out of date. I am still here and it was fine. Andrew Clubb
