Ban supermarkets from throwing away or destroying unsold safe food

Petition Details

Supermarkets should be made to either significantly reduce the price so food gets sold before closing time, or donate it to charities and food banks. They should be banned from throwing food into waste if there are other options, if the food is safe and hygienic under FSA guidance.

Additional Information

This could reduce food waste, help families who are struggling and make supermarkets plan better to reduce overall food waste.
