Food waste
Preventable food waste is food that could have been eaten, for example milk, bread and fruit. Stores can, for example, lower the prices of food that are close to going out of date. Shops can also give it to charity. In this way, it gets eaten.
Non-edible food waste is food that you don’t want to eat, for example, scraps from fish, meat and vegetables.
