Coffee chain Starbucks has decided to donate unsold meals, sandwiches and salads to hungry and needy people in the USA rather than throw them out or destroying the food.
The corporate introduced to a shareholders meeting Wednesday that it’s becoming a member of a US national program, Feeding America, to assist needy people by donating rather than tossing out each evening the still-edible prepared meals it sells.
It stated that it’s goal is to donate leftover ready-to-eat meals from all of its 7,600 outlets in the United States throughout the subsequent 5 years.
“In the first year alone, Starbucks FoodShare will be able to provide almost 5 million meals to people and households in need of nourishing food,” the company stated.
By 2021, the number may very well go upto 50 million meals a year.
The problem, it said, is to make sure that salads, sandwiches and different refrigerated meals can still be consumed safely even if they are past the expiration dates on their labels.
