Require supermarkets to donate edible surplus food to charities in need — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.
Require large supermarkets to donate safe, unsold food to charities instead of discarding it. Introduce mandatory reporting of food waste and redistribution, provide liability protection for donations, and incentivise compliance to reduce waste and support people in need.
Supermarkets discard large amounts of edible food while many people face food insecurity. The government should make redistribution the legal default, require large retailers to donate safe surplus to charities, and ban the destruction of edible food. Mandatory reporting, liability protection, and financial incentives would support compliance and ensure more food reaches those in need.
