Sustainability is about more than recycling. That's why we're super excited to announce our latest update. Horizon now shows food waste collection information, sustainability labels and an #ecoscore for over 2,000 products. Time to go #beyondrecycling.

What also should be illegal is saying the packaging is 100% recyclable when what that means is that consumers have to remember to take it to a supermarket. It's not 100% recyclable at kerbside.

We've added some new sustainability labels to help everyone learn about the products we buy. Best thing is that anyone can contribute! Help us build a more transparent food system with horizon. #sustainabilitysimplified
