A damning new report by environmental group Feedback Global claims supermarkets are dumping their rotting produce on food banks in the name of charity. Used By: How businesses dump their waste on food charities \u2013 which was launched in the House of Commons today (25 March) \u2013 says nutritionally inadequate food is being unacceptably passed on by supermarkets and retailers to food redistribution organisations to dispose of.<\/p>\n<p>The report, drawn from the experiences of food bank workers in the UK, found 91 per cent of those surveyed have had to discard donated food because it was damaged or inedible. One worker said they spent \u00a3375 on carpet cleaning after a donation of rotten bananas, while another reported that veg arrives \u201cmouldy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In its report, Feedback Global says the food redistribution model fails to take account of the burdens placed on food aid organisations, and is not the answer to food poverty. It is therefore calling for mandatory reporting of food waste for large and medium businesses throughout the supply chain, national targets to halve food waste by 2030 and a levy retailers must pay in relation to the food wasted in their supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fruitnet.com\/fresh-produce-journal\/food-banks-forced-to-dispose-of-retailer-food-waste\/265807.article\">Fruitnet<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-687\/\">Food banks \u2018forced to dispose of retailer food waste\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,12720,1589,4324],"class_list":["post-138513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-food-bank","tag-food-waste","tag-retail"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138513\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
