The food safety week 2016 was celebrated from 4 to 10 July. It aims to help people better understand how to waste less food safely, by making more use of their freezers. Over two thirds (36%) of those who had thrown away food said they have discarded food as it was past its use by date.
Other top reasons for throwing food away include buying too much and not eating it, which was reported by 30% of people; and not having the chance to eat food before it went off, which almost a quarter (23%) gave as an excuse for putting food in the bin.
