Make it mandatory for Supermarkets to donate unsold food

Petition Details

Following the example set by the French government, all supermarkets should be required to donate unsold food stuffs so they can be provided to to those in need, rather than being wasted.

Additional Information

This would serve the dual purpose of reducing waste and helping those experiencing or facing hunger.

There are multiple reasons why we need to act on food wastage and poverty. The rising cost of living is hitting families hard when it comes to providing for young children, and indeed parents themselves working longer and harder to meet rising bills. Requiring supermarkets to donate food stuffs would help enable those in hardship to collect unused food stuffs, reducing waste and helping to tackle hunger.
