In the European Union, data shows that each person throws away, on average, over 70 kilograms of food per year.

On International Awareness Day for Food Waste, ANSVSA (National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority) emphasizes that food waste in the EU amounts to over 70 kg per person annually, which affects resources and the environment. This includes forgotten food, large portions, and rejected products. ANSVSA offers advice for reducing waste, such as meal planning, checking labels, and proper food storage.
