Did you know that nearly a third of food is wasted globally? This represents a massive environmental and economic cost. But with upcycled food, we’re finding ways to reclaim value from the food that would otherwise be lost. Upcycled food products turn peels, pulps, and by-products into nutrient-rich ingredients for snacks, drinks, and sauces. This not only reduces food waste but also conserves resources like land and water. Imagine a world where every part of what we grow is used to feed people. Upcycling could be a vital part of a more sustainable and circular food system. 🍲 #SustainableFood #FoodWaste #UpcycledFood

On this #StopFoodWasteDay, Del Monte Foods wants to shine a light on how we’re reducing food waste, one pound at a time through packaging food that lasts longer than typical fresh produce, and #upcycling to ensure all food reaches its highest and best purpose.   - In 2021, we were the industry's first canned vegetable product to be Upcycled Certified by the Upcycled Food Association. And in fiscal year 2023, we upcycled more than 3 million pounds of surplus green beans and pineapple juice! - Canned or jarred fruits and veggies have long shelf lives and remain fresh and comparably nutritious long after fresh produce has been tossed. We’re proud to offer accessible options!   Learn more about our efforts to create a healthier, more hopeful tomorrow in our 2023 ESG Report: https://lnkd.in/gxXNJenk # GrowersofGood
