Taiwanese media say that modern people pay attention to food hygiene and safety, so many food packages clearly indicate the shelf life of food. Once the expiration date is over, people usually regard these foods as "broken" and choose to throw them into the dustbin. However, someone in the UK has opened a coffee shop specializing in these "junk food", which has not only made a fad around the world, but has also saved about 200 tons of "expired but unspoiled" food.
According to a report on Taiwan's Dongsen News Cloud website on Oct. 8, most of the food in the store called "junk Cafe (junk food cafe)" is made from supermarkets, restaurants and other ingredients that have expired their shelf life but are still edible. The founder, British Chef Adam. In order to awaken the public's attention to the problem of food waste, Adam Smith named the program "Real junk Food Program (Real Junk Food Project)".
Adam told Agence France-Presse that they have saved about 200 tons of food since the project was launched. Two years after the opening of the first store in Liverpool, England, there are now 120 cooperative stores around the world, and such "junk cafes" can be seen in Australia, South Korea, France, the United States, Nigeria and other places.
Adam said that not all expired food will be recycled. He set up a research team to check the ingredients by smelling and tasting food, and to determine whether it can be supplied to customers.
According to the report, because British law forbids shops to sell expired food, the food provided by junk cafes is charged in the way of "donation", allowing consumers to "watch and give".
According to the Mirror, Gabby Holmes and Natalie Crean, clerks at another garbage cafe, said 35 per cent of human food ended up being thrown away.
