Every year people from around the world come together to declare their commitment to tackle global hunger on 16 October, World Food Day. This day provides an opportunity to shine a light on food waste, our environmental footprint and most importantly the 870 million undernourished people across the planet – and reaffirm one’s commitment to ‘save good food, from going bad’ exactly like the GLAD slogan.

It is estimated that as much as a third of all food produced goes to waste, in South Africa this is equivalent to a staggering 201kg per person annually! A portion of this happens during the production cycle and is why ‘odd-shaped’ fruit and veggies are being reintroduced by some grocery stores. It is clear though, that we need to act in our daily lives to make a difference in any way we can to reduce this number.   Let GLAD help you be the hero to stop good food from going bad: Begin by planning your meals ahead of time and shop accordingly.

If you buy in bulk, portion and then store in GLAD Zip Seal Bags or wrap using GLAD Wrap or Press 'n Seal and freeze, defrost as needed. For example, if three meals require broccoli, separate the large pack into three portions to store. Do the same with your fresh herbs, nuts, meat, chicken, fish and other perishables.

Organise your fridge, keeping items with the earlier expiration date in the front and the longest behind. Naturally use in this order too.Love your leftovers! Instead of scraping leftovers into the bin, keep them for another meal, by storing in a GLAD Zip Seal Bag in the freezer.

They are transparent, allowing you to see immediately what’s inside and they have a printed white strip already on them, to write the contents and date stored.If you don’t eat your leftovers, share them!

Understand the dates on your food. After the “use-by” date food is not safe to eat, and you need to dispose of it. Add fruit and veggies to your compost heap. “Best Before” dates only indicate when the item is at its best, if it has been properly stored it can still be consumed after this date.

For GLAD, every gram counts, and we’d like to invite you to join us in being more aware this World Food Day (and beyond), to save good food from going bad. As all GLAD products are made for your convenience with the purpose of keeping your food fresh for longer.

Being the face of “Saving Good Food from Going Bad”, GLAD is highlighting the importance of World Food Day on the 16th of October 2018.

In South Africa, approximately one third of the food produced annually (approximately 31 million tonnes) gets wasted. The energy wasted every year in South Africa to produce food that is not eaten, is estimated as enough to power the City of Johannesburg for roughly 16 weeks, according to the WWF. The economic and environmental cost of food waste is a hot topic globally.

So, what can you do? Use GLAD to store and protect your food, to increase its lifespan, as spoilage, at home, mostly occurs due to improper storage and lack of visibility in the fridge and cupboards.

• Cover bowls of food with GLAD Cling Wrap to prevent the food from drying out and then ultimately being thrown away.
• Leftover cooked meat, from dinner, can be wrapped in GLAD Cling Wrap, refrigerated, and then used for sandwiches for lunch the next day.
• Puree extra vegetables and pour into GLAD Ice Cube Bags – use the puree to add flavour to your meals.
• Veggies that have been opened can be put into GLAD Multi-Fresh Food Bags to keep them fresher for longer.
• For meal planning, label the GLAD Zip Seal Bags with the date to ensure you use it before it expires or pop them in the freezer and defrost when necessary.
• Remember, eat what spoils first and get creative with leftovers.

For GLAD, every bite counts, and we’d like to invite you to join us in being more aware this World Food Day (and beyond), and spread the word on ‘saving good food, from going bad’.

Wouldn’t it be easier for you if your children packed their own school lunches? Perhaps it’s time to get them involved in planning, prepping and making them. Invite them to join you in the kitchen and bond while you teach them to create their own school meals and hopefully educate them to make healthy eating choices too.

You might even discover along the way that your kids enjoy the responsibility of being in charge of their food. Allowing kids to pack their own lunchboxes is empowering as they can choose a significant part of their diet, which goes a long way towards a healthy relationship with food and being in the kitchen.

Plus, you could keep a notepad handy, for them to write down their ‘shopping list’ suggestions. As always, GLAD is here to help you and your family. With the GLAD Zip Seal resealable sandwich bags, this is a cinch!

Remember their Zip Seal® clever seal lets you know it’s sealed properly with their YELLOW AND BLUE MAKES GREEN technology.

Tips to help kids pack their own lunches:Keep the pantry stocked with healthy staples such as nuts and dried fruitCreate a “snack station” with pre-bagged snacks, in GLAD Zip Seal Snack Bags, for the whole family to grab fromKeep school meals in mind when you make dinner, because leftovers can be yummy the next day and help save food – GLAD loves leftovers!

Before the next school week starts, spend some time as a family planning and preparing the lunch menu for the upcoming week All it takes is a touch of creativity and pre-planning, and the kids will love their new-found independence – it’s like shopping in mom’s kitchen!
