"Although Raising Cane's has some famously craveable chicken, the media has been in an uproar about the "insane chicken waste," as one Redditor put it, that comes from the restaurants. "I've worked here for years at multiple restaurants, and all Cane's waste a minimum of 20 pounds of food per day, usually much, much more than that of just the bird and fries," said one employee on Reddit. Another employee posted a photo to a Raising Cane's Reddit chain showing a large food service container filled to the brim with wasted "perfectly fine bird.""
""Unfortunately, my restaurant's waste is a lot worse," said a comment on the thread, while another agreed that their store "dump[s] 3 of these [containers] to 4 PER DAY." Social media discussions about Raising Cane's alleged waste span hundreds of comments sharing similar stories, including another Redditor who said they have "huge bags of Chicken Fingers that go into the garbage because the breading isn't per company standards.""
"According to The World Counts, roughly 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted every year, and that's including food viable for human consumption. Restaurants, shops, and supermarkets, among poor transportation and storage methods, contribute significantly to that total."
Approximately 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted annually, including food suitable for human consumption. Restaurants, shops, supermarkets, and poor transportation and storage methods are major contributors to that waste. Multiple Raising Cane's locations reportedly discard at least 20 pounds of chicken per day, with some locations discarding several large containers of chicken and fries each day. Breaded chicken fingers are sometimes discarded for not meeting company standards despite appearing edible. The company has not issued an official response to these claims; the company's website states it supports thousands of local and national causes.
