BANGI: The government should come up with a policy to ban the disposal of surplus food by operators, supermarkets and manufacturers in the country, said non-profit governmental organisation (NGO) Food Aid Foundation (Food Aid).
Its project director Hayati Ismail said Malaysians wasted 15,000 tonnes of food including 3,000 tonnes of edible food daily.
She said Malaysia should emulate France and Italy which banned food operators and supermarkets from throwing away or destroying food.
