Why does 'elf n safety' get blamed for everything?
In this litigious age, although the principle of giving food to charity is a good one, residual food will generally be tipped into the bin rather than be given to the homeless for example.
I can remember when waste food from canteens/schools etc were collected by local pig farmers to feed their stock - unfortunately this has now stopped mainly due to reducing the risk of spreading disease I imagine.
I wonder what the pigs of today would think of the waste from GC T5?
The risk of a claim coming in for causing food poisoning is just to great and I would suggest that like most things that is blamed on H&S, that it would be companies insurers that require food to be disposed of safely.
