Unsold but not unwanted food: What do supermarkets in Singapore do with these
Close to 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted every year, even as more than 800 million people worldwide go to bed hungry every night. In this fourth instalment of a six-part series on food waste, The Sunday Times, in partnership with DBS Bank, takes a close look at supermarkets, which have been singled out as a major culprit globally for throwing out perfectly edible food.

SINGAPORE - Crushed cereal boxes, dented tuna cans and torn labels. These are things you rarely see on supermarket shelves in Singapore, and it is not by chance. Items deemed not good enough to sell are sieved out by supermarkets during the quality control process.

In the past, most of these items would have ended up in the trash. But as the issue of waste gains traction among the buying public, things are slowly changing.

Since 2015, supermarket chain FairPrice has been working with food charity Food from the Heart (FFTH) to redirect items from its 140-odd outlets to families and individuals who need them.

Last time government told us not to eat fresh meat because frozen meat is cheaper

 

[gingerlyn]

Now government may ask grocery sellers to sell cheaper expired food to us

depends on the food and beverage item. best before date doesn’t mean sexpiry of food for consumption. for sexample, a big container of mixed nuts from costco may have a bbd of june next year but may retain its quality thru’ december next year if it remains sealed throughout. i’m still enjoying crunchy cashews as though they’re freshly roasted although the bbd on the container reads nov-30-2020. however, sprout’s orange juice in the fridge tastes and smells funny although its bbd says dec-31-2020. the box containing it has bloated indicating gas sexpansion from fermentation. i would be more careful with eggs, milk, juice, fruit, meat, and vege. but snacks, nuts, seeds, dried foodstuffs, they can last on the shelf at least 6.9 years with airtight packaging.

Tioks Lah.

Depending on how perishable they are,
can re-extend their shelf life by 6~9 days or even 6~9 weeks.

Anyway, a Begger like me and @glockman
cannot be choosy.

Cans eatz, donch waste mah.
