It will either be trading standards or good old health and safety regulations. |

Some while ago a group of people took the food from supermarkets that would have been thrown away and did a buffet for the local councilors and made quite an impression. |

I run a homeless hostel and although I hold food vouchers not everyone qualifies for one .But still people go hungry. It would be wonderful if we could receive some of the food before its been put in the bins xx |

Why not ask your local supermarkets Ann? You could offer to send a van/car round at an agreed time each day. |

Back in the 80s I worked in a home for children with learning difficulties & we all looked forward to the twice weekly donations of food from M&S. |

Fred used to empty the cesspit of the nunnery in the next village and struck up quite a friendship with Reverend Mother. |

One of our offspring occasionally goes through our cupboards and tries to throw out cans with an expired BBF date. If it hasn't 'blown' its still safe to eat! Mind you, if its been lurking for that long, we probably don't want it anyway. :-0 |

If the yoghurt is a few days past the use by date & I'm not sure about it, I make brownies :-D Have done this for at least 10 years (since I found the recipe) and they've always been good. |

Warm milk and a dollop of yogurt in a Thermos overnight is the recipe. |
