スウェーデンの食品ロスの取り組み

Sweden’s food loss initiatives

In a previous blog, we talked about the difference between “use by” dates and “best before” dates.  Some foods are safe to eat past their best before date, so it's important to check the labels and look at what the dates indicate.

Recently our friends in Sweden sent us some example of what is done in Sweden to combat food loss.  It’s definitely quite interesting and I wish this can be done in Japan too!
