My local Sainsburys uses fluorescent tubes that seem to have a

Maybe they are trying alter how green bananas are perceived by
the public.

All large supermarkets will use different colour temperature light
fittings over the fruit and fresh meat counters. With (green) grapes
you cannot see the over-ripe ones until you view them under the
lighting in other parts of the store.


But that is what the 'sell by' date if for !

It's a long time since they used them. (I thought they were "display
until" not "sell by".) Now there are "best before" and "use by" dates,
the latter for perishables that could be dangerous to eat when expired.
