A use for surplus fruit

Tesco has partnered with leading organic dairy Yeo Valley and Adam Wakeley, the UK’s largest organic fruit grower, to create an exclusive new Apple and Custard Left-Yeovers yoghurt which helps to tackle food waste.

The yoghurt uses visually imperfect – but great-tasting – apples to create the new seasonal flavour.

The Left-Yeovers range helps to prevent food waste by using surplus fruit from the Yeo Valley storerooms. It also raises money for a very important cause, with 10p from every pot sold donated to food redistribution charity, FareShare.

Food redistribution

It is hoped up to £7,000 will be raised to help with the redistribution of fresh, quality, surplus food to charities and community groups across the UK, which is then transformed into nutritious meals for vulnerable people.

Previous Left-Yeovers flavours – including Strawberry & Fig, Plum & Custard and Banoffee – have raised £20,000 for FareShare so far.

‘Our Apples and Custard yoghurt is made with organic Santana fruit grown in Gloucester. The juicy apples are blended with a creamy custard yoghurt made in our Somerset dairy.

‘Made with quality produce, this will be a real treat for customers and through this fantastic partnership with Tesco, it will also help people in their community.’
