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

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to introduce mandatory reporting of food waste within the supply chains of large food retailers.

This Government is committed to setting a clear roadmap to a circular economy – a future where our resources are used as efficiently and productively as possible for as long as possible, and waste is reduced. We are reviewing policies to address the challenges associated with tackling food waste in the supply chain and will consider any mandatory food waste reporting requirements in due course.
