Average family wastes £800 of food annually, warns Tesco
A Tesco study has revealed the average British family wastes approximately £800 of edible food a year, prompting a sustainability partnership between the grocer and Unilever.
The study also showed that around three quarters (77%) of UK households say they throw away unopened of unused food and over a third do so on a monthly basis.
On top of this, half a million people have been throwing away food they forgot to eat or never opened – on a daily basis.
Coupled with the cost of living crisis, food waste habits have seen three in five (61%) plan to shop more carefully and only buy what they need.
