In the announcement on Friday, its said that by the end of 2017, not a single unsold tomato or carrot would be thrown away.

"We believe no food that could be eaten should be wasted – that's why we have committed that no surplus food should go to waste from our stores," said Tesco chief executive Dave Lewis, who is trying to improve the supermarket chain's image after an accounting scandal.

Some 55,400 tonnes of food were thrown away at Tesco stores and distribution centres in Britain last year, of which around 30,000 tonnes could otherwise have been eaten, equivalent to around 70 million meals, it said.
