Recently France passed a law prohibitting supermarkets from deliberately spoiling edible food and forcing them to form a partnership with a charity to donate the food to those in need. Companies failing to do so can be fined.

The UK should take a lead from this and we should DEMAND that our government looks into this as a matter of urgency. For good food to be destroyed whilst people are in food poverty is a disgrace. No child should be hungry with this amount of wasted food.
