Approved Food has created quite a stir in the media. The selling of products close to or just beyond their Best Before dates has been a real talking point, as have the huge price savings, environmental benefits and a Yorkshire-based company doing something a little bit different while obviously caring about their customers.
Unfortunately many of the TV and radio features and interviews are no longer available on the internet, but here is a flavour of what the media have said and what Approved Food is all about.
