Commercial food loss","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLooking at commercial food loss by sector, food manufacturing accounts for 1.1 million tons, food wholesaling for 90,000 tons, food retailing for 480,000 tons, and the food service industry for 700,000 tons. The primary causes include non-standard products, returns, unsold items, and customer leftovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCommercial practices are also a contributing factor. A prime example is the \"one-third rule.\" This is an industry custom in which the period from the manufacture date to the best-before date is divided into three parts, and products must be delivered to retailers within the first third. Items not delivered within this window may end up being discarded, even if they have plenty of time left before their best-before date. For this reason, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has called for the easing of delivery deadlines for retailers and the adoption of month\/year labeling and the extension of shelf life by manufacturers. In fact, commercial food loss has been reduced by 57 percent compared to fiscal year 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSource: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maff.go.jp\/j\/press\/shokuhin\/recycle\/260630.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMinistry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maff.go.jp\/j\/press\/shokuhin\/recycle\/221102_17.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMinistry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Douceur コミュニティポータル","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52800212173029,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9835\/5685\/files\/12_6f4c8f99-0087-46da-adc7-2b539a84c2a8.png?v=1789018626","url":"https:\/\/ladouceur.easygo.eco\/en\/products\/9792535068901","provider":"La Douceur コミュニティポータル","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
