A new report by Dalhousie University suggests Canadians may be wasting 13.5% more food at home since start of pandemic.
Dr. Sylvain Charlebois talked about a couple of interesting points that came out of the report.
"There are more people avoiding food products for which the expiry date has gone by, much more so than before the pandemic, so that generates more waste. The other thing that really was surprising is the fact that 10 per cent of Canadians actually have thrown food away believing that it was contaminated with COVID. There's no scientific basis for that, there's no evidence."
Charlebois adds that Canadians are donating to food banks more than ever.
