Putting Good Food to Good Use in the UK

Big Ben. Fish and chips. “The Tube.” The United Kingdom is known for all of these (jolly good) things, and much more. But one thing few people know about is the level of hunger that exists across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In fact, in the UK, one in eight people go hungry every day. Yet 163,000 pounds of perfectly good food is wasted every day in Britain. At General Mills, we believe that all food should be eaten, and that taking a lead role in surplus food recovery is a business, moral and sustainability imperative.
