Asda has removed best before dates from fresh fruit and vegetables, replacing them with a coded system. The move aims to reduce food waste as shoppers often discard perfectly good produce based on dates.

Supermarket giant Asda has shared some useful tips on how to store eggs properly to maximize their freshness and reduce food waste. They recommend keeping eggs in the fridge, away from other foods, and using the water test to check if they are still good to eat.
Asda has surpassed Tesco, Morrisons, and Sainsbury’s as the most expensive fuel retailer in the UK. The supermarket giant’s fuel prices are an average of 2.1p higher for petrol and 2.5p higher for diesel compared to its rivals. Asda’s acquisition by the Issa brothers in 2021 and the integration of EG Group’s UK arm may have contributed to this increase. Despite previous commitments to maintain competitive fuel prices, Asda’s target fuel margin has significantly increased since 2019. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is monitoring fuel pricing issues and may take action on pump margins in the future.

Asda CFO Michael Gleeson reassures that the supermarket’s shareholders remain dedicated to long-term growth, despite reports of one of the Issa brothers seeking to sell his stake. The company reveals strong financial performance, with sales rising and earnings jumping in 2023. Asda plans to expand its store network, opening 500 new express convenience stores by year-end, primarily through the acquisition of petrol station forecourts. However, the supermarket’s market share has declined since the takeover in 2021, and it faces competition from discounters Aldi and Lidl.
Mohsin Issa, CEO of Asda, has denied allegations of a rift with his brother, Zuber. He addressed rumors that Zuber plans to sell his stake in the supermarket chain, stating that there is no disagreement between them. Mohsin also announced plans to step back from his daily involvement in Asda and appoint a chief executive, though past attempts to hire a suitable candidate have been unsuccessful.
