Responsive - Food In The Loop: Most Common Thrown Food

I want to create a poster that helps to tackle food waste in the home. Originally I was going to have all the different food and how long you can keep it before chucking it but I think due to time restrictions this is going to take too long to produce. Even if I was able to do it I don't think it would be up to the standard I would like so I am going to tweak the idea.

The most common foods to be chucked:
• Rice
• Bread
• Bananas
• Bagged Salad
• Grapes
• Apples


Practical steps people can take to reduce food waste include:

Plan Meals - It's one of the most effective ways you can cut waste and food bills. Check your fridge, freezer and cupboards, then write a list so you don't buy things you already have.

Savvy Storage - Keep your food in the correct place to keep it at its best:
Bread - bread bin or cupboard in the original packaging. Potatoes and onions - in a cool dark place. Fruit and vegetables (except potatoes, onions, bananas and whole pineapple) − in the fridge in their original packaging.

Dates - 'Use-by' means food must be eaten by this date, or frozen to keep things for longer. 'Best before' is for quality only so food is still safe to eat after this date. Eggs can be eaten a day or two after their 'best before' date if they're cooked thoroughly.

Portion control - Every day we serve up basics like bread, rice, potatoes and pasta but cook too much which means large amounts end up going straight in the bin.

Use leftovers - With a bit of thought you can create some delicious surprises from your leftovers − they don't have to mean second best.
