Co-op is introducing a 'freeze me' label to its own-brand milk products in a effort to cut down on 70,000 tonnes of waste a year.
Milk is best used within one month of freezing and should be defrosted in the fridge. Once fully thawed, it should be used within 24 hours.
Catherine Dishington, environment and sustainability manager at Co-op, said:"Freezing food is one of the easiest ways to make the most out of your weekly shop and prevent food wastage but not everyone knows that it's perfectly safe to freeze milk. "We hope that by having this message on pack it will not only save customers some money, it should also help them to throw away less."
Estelle Herszenhorn, strategic technical manager at Wrap, said:"Milk is one of the most wasted food products in the UK so this is a welcome move from the Co-op, demonstrating their commitment to helping people waste less. "We encourage people to check out the Love Food Hate Waste website for more ways to make the most of the food you buy, save money and fight climate change."
