An inspector calls

AGROMENES has a new hero.

- 

He remains anonymous, but he calls himself the Food Waste Inspector. He has been busy outing some big supermarkets—M&S, Waitrose and Lidl—for throwing away food that is perfectly good to eat. His bin pictures show sliced meat, whole chickens, potatoes and wine—all good to sell, but chucked in the refuse bins. After his story hit social media, one store's response was to lock their bins so our hero could no longer look inside. Now, these major outlets have serious investigations under way and the big names concerned have set about recovering their reputation for fighting food waste and doing what they can to distribute surplus products to the needy.
