Giving food

Ask yourself:

• Is it at risk of being wasted? 
• Is it fresh and within its use-by date? 
• Is it good to eat for at least 24 more hours? 
• Can we accept it? Check exclusion list below. 
• Is the packaging unbroken? 
• Does the packaging have a list of ingredients and allergens?
  Community fridges can only share food that they know the contents of in accordance with Natasha's Law.
  
• Ask a member of the team to accept and weigh in your unwanted food
  
  

​If you are a food business contact Food Connect project co-ordinator, Helen Innes - helen@hubbub.org.uk or call 07813 780 125 to discuss how we can help you reduce your food waste
