The UK could be losing out on 800m meals from ‘hidden food’ which could help 5.8m people living in ‘deep poverty’, according to food redistribution charity FareShare.
It estimates that up to 400,000 tonnes of this food surplus is edible and in date and could provide equivalent to 13 meals per person in the UK.
“We are only using 1.5 per cent of surplus food. However this is just the tip of the iceberg of what is potentially available and we could be providing so much more from this source.”
