Government “must get tough on supermarkets over food waste”


The Government must get tougher with supermarkets if it is to tackle the growing problem of food waste, a report will warn this week.


The Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) will this week condemn targets set by the Government’s waste-reduction programme as “unambitious and lacking urgency”, says the Independent on Sunday newspaper.

The SDC will also say that multi-buy promotions are helping to fuel waste and obesity in Britain.
