It is important to distinguish between food waste and surplus food in order to use surplus food for animal feed and promote sustainability. The first sensible approach to dealing with surplus food is to feed it to animals. Food surpluses can occur at different stages of food production and distribution for different reasons. These are ready-to-eat, partially prepared meals or food ingredients. Routine monitoring and control is essential to ensure the standard and quality of the food produced to date. Products from bakeries and pasta manufacturers can be processed into animal feed as their use is guaranteed safe. Due to their nutritional and feed value, they are suitable for different animal species and categories.
