The supermarket's commitment to take the whole crop from growers – including unexpected bumper crops caused by the weather – led to more good food used in its Perfectly Imperfect and Waste Not ranges. Surplus grapes were used to create Hyke, an innovative new gin. Tesco is also taking action to help their customers reduce food waste in the home. Customers reacted positively to Tesco's decision to scrap best before dates from over 180 fruit and vegetable products, as it helps them keep perfectly good food for longer. Tesco CEO, and Chairman of Champions 12.3, Dave Lewis said: "Reducing food waste is a global challenge: one in nine people are going hungry whilst a third of the world's food is wasted. This food waste has a huge environmental impact, creating unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions. "In 2013 Tesco set out to lead on reducing food waste globally and has committed to the Sustainable Development Goal Target 12.3, to halve global food waste by 2030.
