Irish families could be wasting €1,000 a year over confusion about food being safe to freeze
According to a new study carried out for consumers in the UK and likely to apply here also, more than half the food thrown out by households could have been safely eaten.
A waste food mountain of seven million tonnes represents the amount of food thrown out in the UK each year which could have been eaten, according to the Waste and Resources Action Programme, a charity that helps businesses and individuals reduce waste, develop sustainable products and use resources in an efficient way.
