Food Waste Regulations

Food waste regulations govern how surplus food is managed, encouraging businesses and households to reduce waste and donate edible food instead of discarding it. These laws promote recycling, composting, and proper disposal to minimize environmental impact, while also addressing food insecurity by enabling the redistribution of excess edible food. Regulations may include standards for safe storage, labeling, and tracking of food to ensure it is discarded responsibly or reused. Overall, they aim to balance environmental sustainability, public health, and resource efficiency in the handling of food waste.
