Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, on what date his Department plans to publish the results of the consultation on improved reporting of food waste by large food businesses in England.

We recently consulted on options to improve reporting of food waste volumes by large food businesses in England. By increasing the number of businesses measuring and publicly reporting their food waste, we expect to drive action to reduce it. We are analysing responses to the consultation and look to publish a summary of responses and government response in 2023.
