SABS Unveils Draft Plan to Tackle Food Waste Crisis
‘Best before’ is not ‘use by’. That distinction, long misunderstood across South Africa’s food system, is one of the central clarifications in Sans 2088, the country’s first national framework for food donation and redistribution.
South Africa's national standards body, SABS, has introduced a significant draft plan aimed at addressing the country's food waste crisis. This framework, known as Sans 2088, is the first of its kind in South Africa, focusing specifically on food donation and redistribution.
A key element of the plan is to clarify common misunderstandings, such as the difference between 'best before' and 'use by' dates, which often contribute to unnecessary food disposal.
This initiative is crucial for improving food security and reducing the environmental impact of food waste in South Africa.
