Food Waste in France

Intentional Spoiling

Intentional spoiling refers to the common practice that takes place once food is disposed of. The process involves grocery store employees pouring bleach or other similar chemical products on food that they have deemed no longer useful or of value. The practice is said to be done as a way to deter anyone from searching through their garbage bins. The method is an extensive approach that has proved to be effective (Samuel, 2015)
