My friends husband works for a food company and they chuck so much food away a day. I think its such a waste as it could do to old peoples home, childrens homes etc. The staff are not even allowed to take it home.

Its a disgrace. In this day and age when there are starving people all
over the world and they cant even let people have unused food. Maybe
they should make people sign an agreement that if they get ill because
of the food, they cant complain.

And you didn't even think to ask GC!


Now I didn't say it was Health & Safety did I (although admittedly it was in the quote).  Just that I know somebody who for some reason is no longer allowed to redistribute M & S food at the end of the day.

Companies just do not understand the concepts of hazard and risk properly.

My friend's mother died and left a freezer and cupboard full of food. My friend offered it to the homeless shelter but they would only accept the tinned food.
Old but spicey!

It is a disgrace. I think all that no win no fee compensation rubbish is to blame. My nan used to work in the Co-op way back and they used to be able to take damaged goods/near sell by daye food home. Guess times have changed.

My sister in law is a supervisor at Sainsburys and she says everything gets thrown away and the staff are not allowed to take anything open. At one time they used to pack all the cakes and bread and take them to old folks homes but no more.
