This year, we were delighted to support the EPA-led National Stop Food Waste campaign, which ran from the 1st to the 7th of March.
Over 220,000 tonnes of household food waste are produced in Ireland every year, costing Irish households on average more than €60 per month. EPA (2026) research shows that 48% of people say that bread is the food they throw out most often. This year’s campaign highlighted bread and how consumers can reduce food waste associated with it.
We marked our support for the campaign with an educational video demonstrating how to make a salad, with bread and bacon lardons at the heart of the recipe! If you would like to follow our in-house chef and NPD expert Noel as he prepares this dish, please visit our social media channels.
We are also delighted to announce that we signed up as signatories to the EPA Food Waste Charter in December 2025 and we look forward to continuing to play our part in reducing food waste across the supply chain.
*The Food Waste Charter is a national voluntary agreement led by the EPA, which aims to promote a collective industry commitment to reducing food waste along the entire food supply chain, where two-thirds of food waste is generated.
