食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據(jù)法國媒體報道，為減少食品浪費現(xiàn)象，日前法國國會議員提出一項議案，要求那些擁有1,000平米以上規(guī)模的超市，向慈善機(jī)構(gòu)捐獻(xiàn)出鄰近過期的食品。

    這項舉措可以保證那些雖臨近保質(zhì)期，但仍然健康和新鮮的待下架食品，能夠首先被考慮捐獻(xiàn)給慈善機(jī)構(gòu)，救助那些需要幫助的人們。這些議員們認(rèn)為，超市擁有大量的食品庫存和相應(yīng)的管理系統(tǒng)，要比個人更有能力捐獻(xiàn)。

    據(jù)報道，法國的每個家庭，平均每年會扔掉20公斤的食物，其中有7公斤是尚未開過包就被丟棄。

    部分原文報道如下：

    A typical French supermarket throws away some 200 tonnes of food every year, but a new piece of legislation aims to make that sort of waste illegal.

    Sixty-three elected officials from across party lines filed a bill on Wednesday that would force so-called “hypermarkets” of 1,000 square metres or more to donate out of date food to charity instead of tossing it.

    “With logistical resources and a stockpile of products, supermarkets can more easily make donations than individuals,” signatory and National Assembly member Jean-Pierre Decool of the conservative UMP party told French daily Le Monde. “A more systematic, even mandatory, approach should be added to this process by changing the legislation currently in force.”

    Though households are responsible for most of the food wasted in the European Union, accounting for some 42 percent of what is thrown away, five percent of the waste still happens at big supermarket stores.
