"About a third of the planet’s food goes to waste. That’s enough to feed two billion people." Here at Foodstand, we are big believers in reducing and eliminating food waste. You better believe we w...

JenniferEmilson Totally agree!! Why wait for November?!
160 billion lbs of food are wasted yearly due to confusing date-labeling laws.

EXPIRED is a five minute film that reveals how best by and sell by dates applied at the state level restrict stores from selling or donating perfectly good food. Did you know that "spoiled" pasteur...
-
unconventionalbaker Really a shame. I guess there's no way to avoid this when food is mass produced the way it is today -- common sense is traded for "standards" that tend to backfire... :/
-
JenniferEmilson Isn't it also an issue of not understand 'Best By' dates vs 'Use By' dates. Best By is a safety net for retailers, even though there is plenty of life still in that product! Nothing beats our own...
-
annefood @JenniferEmilson totally! But apparently those best by dates aren't even backed by current science, yet after that date the food can't even be donated! There needs to be some sort of either a)...

Is that milk past its 'sell by' date? Drink it anyway.

This is probably one of my biggest pet peeves in the industry and I hope on Food Recovery Lobby Day on Apr 4, 2016 we address this issue.

DietID_TeamDietitians i think people just need to learn how to smell milk - e.g. get to know their food a bit more.

annefood Yes this is so ridiculous. @unconventionalbaker @JenniferEmilson and I were talking about this last week, and I suggested that there either needs to be a federal regulation as this article...
-
JenniferEmilson Sell by dates and Best by dates are purely for the retailer's benefit. Common sense needs to be taught as well. I was intrigued by this conversation last week. And like @rachna said, Use your nose....

As many of you know, Foodstand has taken a big stance on food waste and we'd love to see our west coast friends join in on the discussions. #nofoodwaste

France becomes first country to force all supermarkets to give unsold food to needy.
independent.co.uk
Given that 1 and 4 children in the U.S. Goes to bed hungry and 48 million Americans live in food insecure households, this is a HUGE precedent. I hope that U.S. Can follow France's lead. #NoFoodWaste

DietID_TeamDietitians It's so insane that this isn't happening already everywhere
-
sugardetoxme Hopefully this is the first of many. Given that Obama is tackling food waste, I would imagine this becomes a policy as long as grocery stores are not held liable for any "tainted" food
