TraceGains Addresses Improving Food Loss and Waste with Accurate Date Labels
Westminster, CO, September 14, 2014 --(PR.com)-- TraceGains, a leader in supplier document management in the food industry, addressed the effects of date labeling on food waste and suggestion for improving the situation. The infographic is posted on the company’s blog.
Confusion over date labeling contributes to food waste, according to the Institute of Food Technology. Approximately 33% - 50% of food produced for human consumption globally is wasted. This is equivalent to 1.3 billion metric tons per year. In the U.S. 31% of all food produced for the store or home is wasted.
Inconsistency in date labeling contributes to misunderstanding about how dates on labels relate to food quality or safety. This misunderstanding is among the factors contributing to food waste.
The Institute of Food Technology suggested collaboration to develop a simple workable solution to address the challenges faced by food manufacturers, retailers, government officials, consumers, and other stakeholders.
