In other news, Morrisons has become the first UK retailer to take action with the Move to -15°C Coalition by raising the temperature of some of its freezers.​​

The decision was taken after research, including a study conducted by Nomad Foods and Campden BRI​​, found that that there was no significant change in product quality when in-date foods are stored at -15°C.
