The correct answer is: Fruit & veg! 🥕🍏
That’s right – 22% of all food rescued by Food Waste Heroes in January was fruit and vegetables, totalling 258,877 items! From surplus salads to extra aubergines, our volunteers helped get thousands of portions of fresh produce into the hands of people who would appreciate them.
And while bread is often the first thing that comes to mind when we think about an Olio collection, it actually only made up 32% of all listings – meaning there’s a whole variety of food being saved every single day.
Every bite rescued is a win for the planet! 🚀 Keep up the amazing work, Food Waste Heroes!
