About this item
Description: This webinar examined the connection between food labelling and food waste, and how much food is wasted because of the way it is labelled.

Our expert panel discussed what the food labelling system is designed to achieve; does it keep us from eating out of date food or create confusion so that food which could have been eaten perfectly safely is wasted?

What are the solutions? Can we create a more circular system that both cuts down food waste and keeps us safe?

Our panel:

Caroline Conroy, Sustainability Sector Specialist, WRAP
Charlotte Scallon, Head of Sustainability and Regulation, Biffa
Rebecca Sudworth, Head of Policy, Food Standards Agency
Chair: Professor Yasemin Kor, Judge Business School, University of Cambridge
