Food salvage

Food salvage is like being a superhero who saves food from becoming waste. You know how sometimes we make too much food or things don't sell at the store and they have to throw it away? Well, food salvage means finding a way to use that food before it goes bad.

When stores and restaurants have extra food or food that is near its expiration date, they can sell it to a food salvage company. This company will then take the food and make sure it is still good to eat. For example, they might check the expiration date, look for any signs of spoilage, and properly store the food.

After the food is checked and cleaned, it can be given to people in need. This could be by donating the food to a food bank, a homeless shelter, or other community organizations. By doing this, the food is not wasted, and more people can have access to healthy, nutritious food.

Food salvage is important because a lot of food is wasted every day. This wastes resources like water, fuel, and land, and also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. By salvaging food, we can help reduce food waste and make sure that good food is not going to waste.
