Great news 📢 @marksandspencer are making the switch from 'Use By' to 'Best Before' across all #M&S British and organic fresh milk. Currently, #milk is in the top 3 most wasted food and drink, this change will help us waste less milk at home 🙌 #LoveFoodHateWaste

Freeze fresh #berries to make them last up to 3 months longer ❄️ Freeze on a tray first (so that they don’t lump together), then store in an airtight container in the #freezer. 🍒 Defrost fully in the fridge and use within 24 hours. Or, use a microwave on the defrost setting.
