After a recent report revealed some supermarkets are selling apples up to a year old, Good Health launched an investigation into the age of the ‘fresh’ food we eat, and how age affects nutritional value.

Morrisons stocked pears that were 118 days old, Marks & Spencer had apples that were 124 days old, Tesco had grapes that were 33 days old, and Sainsbury’s had potatoes that were 129 days old.

Organic produce faired no better than non-organic – and in some cases was even worse.
