A new report from Wrap reveals that food waste prevention progress in the U.K. has been stalled due to Brexit.
According to The Grocer, the report was conducted at roughly 60 supermarkets and examined 2,000 food products. It found that many retailers had done nothing or not enough to improve labeling that could prevent consumer waste.
Wrap’s report summarizes progress against eight key areas of action where food labeling changes could prevent waste, including advice on how and where to store food, as well as at what temperature. Yet seven out of eight key product areas had either seen no change or a shortfall in the action needed, including almost three quarters of milk, yogurts and hard cheeses carrying no advice of what temperature the products should be stored at, according to the report.
