Cold Chain Leaders Urge Congress to Include Frozen Food as Strategy for Reducing Food Waste
AFFI, GCCA join with other organizations to support
A coalition of organizations representing the food chain stressed that frozen food should play a leading role in meeting the federal government’s sustainability goals in written comments filed in support of the proposed Draft National Strategy for Reducing Food Loss and Waste and Recycling Organics. The document was submitted by the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI), Global Cold Chain Alliance, Meat Institute, National Fisheries Institute, National Pork Producers Council and the Washington Red Raspberry Commission.
“Whether at the retail, foodservice or consumer level, frozen food helps prevent food loss and waste,” said Alison Bodor, AFFI president and CEO. “The frozen food industry and our peers across the food chain applaud the Biden Administration for developing this strategy on a critical issue and look forward to working with the federal government to enact practical, effective solutions.”
