Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Ann Cryer (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 25 March 2010 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Food Wastage
- Question
- When my right hon. Friend next talks to food producers and packers, will he ask them to bear it in mind that an increasing number of us are living alone? It would be much easier to stop throwing food away if, for example, packets of bacon were reduced from eight rashers to just four rashers.
- Answer
-
I agree completely with my hon. Friend. Another step that some supermarkets have taken is to move from "buy one get one free" offers to "buy one now, get one free later". That simple change gives the same benefit to the consumer and helps to reduce food waste, so I warmly encourage it.
