Tips on Food Waste

• Shop smart and realistically – List.

• Don’t overserve food – use smaller plates.

• Save uneaten food – eat leftovers.

• Store food in right place.

• Avoid clutter in your fridge – out of sight, out of mind.

• Treat sell-by dates as guidelines – food quality matter, not food safety.  “Best Before” is a guideline; “Use By” is a deadline.

• Beware of Special Offers – it’s only a bargain if you use it all.

• Keep track of what you throw away.

• Donate to food banks / charities and farms - people in need.

• Canning and Pickling.

• Composting.
