Rabba Fine Foods promotes Waste Reduction Week

Rabba Fine Food is offering tips and easy-to-follow suggestions to its customers on how they can reduce their food waste and save money during this Waste Reduction Week.

According to the Made In Ca, Canadians create over 50 million tonnes of food waste every year with the average Canadian household producing some 79 kilograms of food waste per year according to the UN Food Waste Index. 47% of food waste in Canada is generated at the household level with fruits and vegetables accounting for about 45% of food waste.  Canada’s yearly food waste is equivalent to 9.8 million tonnes of CO2.

Some 60% of Canadian food waste is avoidable.

Rabba’s Food Savings Hacks blog offers its customers several tips for reducing that food waste, such as meal planning to reduce the chances of ingredients and foods going to waste, better storage of foods so they last longer to even composting food scraps.
