Ice Out Food Waste: Leveraging the Power of Freezing to Reduce Wasted Food

More than 30% of the U.S. food supply goes unsold or uneaten from farm to fork, with nearly half that amount generated by consumers in the home and at restaurants. Purchasing frozen food, particularly for items that are typically wasted, and using the freezer are two strategies for consumers to reduce food waste. Freezing can also be leveraged by businesses to cut down on food loss within the supply chain. Yet the role of freezing and frozen food as a food waste solution can often be overlooked.
