Think Food, Think Frozen!

Cut Food Waste,

Love Frozen!

Edible food waste accounts for around three quarters of UK food waste. This waste could have been eaten if it had been managed properly.

The edible food thrown away is worth £1,000 per household of four or £250 per person – that’s £17,000,000,000 every year across the UK.

The average household throws away 1.96kg of food per day, on average, equivalent to eight meals per week.

The largest proportion of wasted food is fresh vegetables and salads, followed by meals (both home-made and pre-prepared) and bakery items.

Getting to love your freezer, and making it part of your weekly meal planning, will save money and reduce the amount you throw away
Replacing a fresh ingredient or product with a limited storage life for a like-for-like frozen equivalent with a longer storage life reduces the chance of it being thrown away
Buying pre-prepared frozen food – such as mashed potatoes – removes the need to peel ingredients or prepare products.

The awesome benefits of

frozen

food...

With our busy lives many of us take it for granted, but did you realise buying and eating more frozen food could help revolutionise the way you eat?

Great value!

It generally costs less than chilled and because you only use what you need: every penny you spend on frozen food goes on your plate.

Convenience!

It’s always on hand, ready for your busy lifestyle whenever you need it. Plus lots of frozen food can be quickly cooked straight from your freezer.

Planet friendly!

It is an eco-powerhouse: freezing keeps food fresher for longer so there’s less waste and less packaging so you can eat sustainable food all year round.

Good for you!

Freezing food locks in freshness and nutrients for longer, whilst short-shelf-life chilled food goes off losing nutrients and quality in a matter of days.
