Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking to reduce levels of household food waste.

Through the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), the Government is working with food businesses and other stakeholders under the Courtauld Commitment 2025 to develop on-pack, in-store and online information to tackle the most wasted food and drink products, agree industry-wide best practice and engage their customers on waste prevention.

WRAP also provides advice directly to consumers through the Love Food Hate Waste campaign. The campaign works with retailers and brands, local councils, businesses, and community groups to provide resources such as well researched motivational messages, food storage advice and recipes that help consumers to make best use of the food they buy.
