"Is it really free to get it? How many can I get?" At 10 am on June 30, when the sanitation worker Fu Wenmei passed the Xinbei community in Huaichuan Street, Liuyang City, he accidentally found a "new store" next to the community. ——Anti -food waste community public welfare store. The manager took the initiative to tell her that the food here can be collected for free.

On June 28, the first anti -food waste community public welfare store was opened by the Liuyang Food Safety Committee, and everyone could come to this "new store" to receive food for free.

Different from ordinary stores, the "purchase channels" here are very special. Some products are freely presented by merchants, and some are backup samples of the functional departments after sample testing. Food shelf life but still during the shelf life. "All citizens can come here to receive the corresponding amounts of products for free. We hope to avoid waste in this way." The relevant person in charge of the Liuyang Market Supervision and Administration Bureau introduced.

Open for a limited time every day, each person is limited to 5

On June 30, the reporter walked into this public welfare store and saw that the shelves were filled with various types of products, including small snacks that were eaten in the bags such as bread, melon seeds, peanuts, spicy strips, and condiments such as soy sauce and vinegar. There are emergency foods such as self -heating rice and instant noodles.

The store manager Roger is a specialty of food safety in the community and is also a volunteer volunteer in Liuyang. He is responsible for managing anti -food waste community public welfare stores. He introduced that after the food is delivered, it will give priority to the community's sanitation workers, difficult groups, nursing homes, and volunteers in the community.

Although the product is free, it is not possible to get it unlimited. "Considering that other people also have demand, each person is limited to 5." Roger introduced to Fu Wenmei as he said that in the end, Fu Wenmei picked two boxes of self -heating rice, a bag of biscuits, a bag of melon seeds, and a bottle of soy sauce. Essence

"I can take a good rest at noon." Fu Wenmei said that after returning home at noon, she had to spend an hour for cooking. I didn't have much time to rest, so I often felt tired when cleaning in the afternoon. After receiving the free food, she ate a box of self -heating rice at noon that day. She solved the rice in less than 20 minutes. "It is very convenient and the taste is good.

Merchants avoid waste, citizens are affordable

While the anti -food waste community public welfare store brings benefits to the citizens, it also solves the problem of waste of some merchants and food factories.

On the day of the opening on June 28, the Sunshine Xinyu Xizhengfang deliberately sent more than 5 kg of bread. "As far as our store is concerned, there are more than ten pounds of corner materials generated every day." Li Hong, manager of the road shop of Sunshine Xinyu West Point Fang Station, said that after the daily cake shop is baked, there will be a "shape" process. Many of the cooked breads have been cut off. "These corners are the same as the quality of the cakes we sell, but because of the requirements of 'shape', they can only be removed and thrown away."

In addition, due to the short shelf life of pastry categories, Li Hong often handles the finished cake that has one day of the shelf life and replace it with new products. "This has also caused a lot of waste." Li Hong introduced that in the past year, the cake shops were sold to the farmers with these corners or the upcoming cakes. The others were not handled, and they needed to be discarded after being shattered.

In the face of such problems, there are not only pastries, but also food manufacturers. "Every year we have more than 100 items because of the near -shelter period from the shelf life." Zhang Xingling, general manager of the Food Factory in the palm of Liuyang City, said that once these foods cannot be used, processing, and sales of these foods, they can only be destroyed. "Destroy food for food. It also increases the cost and labor cost of the enterprise, and it does not meet the traditional virtues of our Chinese nation saving food. "

After learning that the city was going to open the first anti -food waste community public welfare store, Li Hong and Zhang Xingling signed up for the first time. Zhang Xingling proposed to donate 2,000 boxes of self -heating rice. In the end, due to the limited area of ​​the shelf, the public welfare store temporarily received 200 boxes. The rest were distributed to the store in a timely manner according to the "sales" situation.

"Such activities have not only solved the problems of the manufacturer, but also allowed those in need to benefit. I am willing to continue to participate. If the public welfare store has demand, we can supply it at any time." Zhang Xingling said.[Responsible editor: Wang Yaobing]
