Up to 40 percent of all food produced globally is wasted, contributing to climate change. In the US, 77 million tons of food are wasted annually, while households spend $1,500/year on wasted food.
Over 50 confusing date label phrases lead to consumer food waste, with households throwing away 6.5 million tons of food yearly and contributing to 60% of landfills' methane emissions.
The Zero Food Waste Coalition aims to halve US food waste by 2030 by pushing for bipartisan legislation like the Food Date Labeling Act and the NO TIME TO Waste Act.
