How You Can Reduce Food Waste
By reducing food waste, you can cut costs, protect budgets and make your kitchen more sustainable.
Waste caused by excess prep, cooking and ordering, and through incorrect storage, are all avoidable if you shop carefully.
Our specialist care development chefs have selected products to give you more control over how you prepare, cook and serve food.
- By using bulk packs, and frozen products such as IQF meat, you can decant and cook the quantities you need, and no more.
- Individual portions of jams and condiments, rather than shared containers on the table avoids wastage through spillage and contamination.
- Single flow-wrapped cakes and other items can be safely put out again next day if they’re not eaten straight away.
