Leading UK dairy and food brands are joining forces on a new initiative to encourage people to use their own senses to guide whether a food item should be thrown out or not.

They are looking at new on-pack messaging to get people to smell and taste their food in order to guide them.

Dr Orla Cahill is a lecturer in Microbiology and Allergen Management at TU Dublin and Tom Doorley is a restaurant critic.  They joined Kieran on Monday's edition of The Hard Shoulder to give their thoughts.
