Stop supermarkets rejecting perfectly decent fruit and vegetables from producers

Closed 447 signatures

What the petition asks

British supermarkets should be prevented from rejecting British fruit and vegetables that don't meet their own purely cosmetic standards. The amount of wasted produce is obscene and the financial hardship to British growers and producers is pushing more and more of them out of business.
