Items accepted by local food banks

[Sue]

Sorry to start another thread on food banks, but I've done a search and none of the existing threads seem relevant  to  this specific issue.

I have several canned items which are past their "best before"  (but not sell by)  dates by one or two years - specifically, jackfruit in water and coconut milk.

I'm sure they are fine to eat, and I would use them myself, but my diet has changed and I'm highly unlikely to.

To save me phoning round, does anybody know if local food banks would accept them?

I don't think that they do generally - but you could offer them up on Olio?

I second the Olio suggestion. Just download the App and register. The Albrighton food bank does have a telephone number  - 0207737 6186  is the number of the community centre, so that might be it.

The southwark Foodbank has a "wanted" list here https://southwark.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/donate-food/

It's the final date which counts so the southwark foodbank would definitely take them

What do you mean by "final date"? 

As in "use by ...."?

So a "best before" date which has passed would be ok?

Use by
