Food bank points offer shoppers the chance to donate items they have bought in stores, as well as food brought from home; in some cases Asda’s contributions accounted for 15%-25% of a single charity’s donations.

Several charities told the Guardian they had been affected by Asda’s new policy, which was instituted in January, apparently unannounced.'

Complicit in the cull.

I think ASDA has problems looming, listening to the staff, very few are happy at all at present.

This is a bad move from ASDA,it looks petty and uncaring.
