Each adult in the UK is binning close to £600 worth of food every year, a new survey has indicated.
The research was carried out by finance experts at My Favourite Voucher Codes , speaking to 612 people across the UK who do a food shop at least once a week for the poll. It found that shoppers threw away food with a value of £11 every week on average, amounting to £572 annually.
Four out of five people admitted that they had thrown away perfectly good food that could have been eaten or donated, according to Grocery Gazette . The most common factors for binning food were passing expiration dates and signs of mould.
