We like to treat ourselves to something special at Christmas. You usually buy a little more than you would throughout the year. After all, you want to pamper your family and friends. A Swiss-wide study by Too Good To Go into food waste during Christmas shows that: Swiss women tend to buy a lot of food for the holiday. Leftovers after Christmas dinner are sometimes creatively recycled. But for almost three-quarters of those surveyed, food is thrown away.
75 percent of respondents cook the feast themselves. To make sure there is enough food, 41 percent buy more food than they need. 35 percent said they might sometimes buy too much, depending on the occasion and number of guests. You don’t want to look stingy. Only 17 percent buy enough to last, according to the survey. These are primarily older consumers over the age of 45.
Despite inflation, the Swiss have no plans to buy less food. In fact, one in three people spend much more on food during Advent and Christmas. However, one in five people pay attention to bargains and seek discounts.
When it comes to food waste, the classics include overcrowded meat platters for Chinese fondue, dozens of sauces as garnishes, and desserts that no one enjoys after a sumptuous meal. When it comes to hearty meals, in addition to meat, there are also side dishes that are completely inedible, such as cheeses and vegetables, such as raclette or fondue. There are also biscuits that often go with coffee.
Leftovers from celebrations are often thrown away. More than 70 percent of survey respondents say they waste leftovers. According to the survey, only 24 percent do not throw anything in the trash or compost.
Too good to go. With over 2.1 million registered users and over 7,200 partners, more than 9 million foods have been rescued from bakeries, retailers and restaurants in Switzerland. (pbe)
