Tesco is followed closely by Asda, with an average shelf life of 10.5 days for all its grocery products, although it did deliver a pack of bacon during the shelf life.

Waitrose said: “We always train our partners to choose the best products with the longest shelf life delivered online-we are sorry that this did not meet our high standards, and we are committed to providing our customers with better service.
“Sometimes, we sometimes shorten the date codes of certain fresh produce to ensure that they are at the best quality-so this may also be a factor in the results.”
