The bosses of some of Britain's largest supermarket chains say they regularly ignore expiry dates on the food they eat at home, with one admitting some dating policies are "ridiculous".

The heads at Sainsbury's, Morrisons and the Co-op told The Times they ignored both sell-by and best-before dates, while executives from Tesco, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer disregarded use-by dates.
