&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;==Food==&lt;br /&gt;
Food recalls are a cause of [[food waste]]. Recalled food is almost always destroyed. In a '''small percent''' of cases, this is justified. But in most cases, there are better solutions that are not being implemented.&lt;br /&gt;
===Examples===&lt;br /&gt;
Granola bars that may contain traces of peanuts, and were not labelled as such. For the vast majority of people (i.e. those who don't have extreme peanut allergies), the bars are safe to eat. But the regulations require that the bars be discarded and destroyed. Major waste of food.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;'''Better solutions:'''&lt;br /&gt;
* The manufacturer could provide stickers to be added (one for each package), indicating that the product may contain peanuts and that the allergen wasn't listed on the original packaging.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- TODO: Address the possibility that the sticker could obscure other important things on the package. Offer solutions to this. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** {{light|Stickers could be standardized across the industry. For example, for peanut allergens specifically, the sticker could be shaped like a peanut.}}&lt;br /&gt;
* The grocery store shelf could also provide a notice.&lt;br /&gt;
** {{light|There could be an industry standard for this as well, a &amp;quot;manufacturer's notice&amp;quot; with a large &amp;quot;⚠&amp;quot; symbol.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- TODO: Talk about incentives. Maybe the stores need to be punished for wasting food, so they don't see it as the &amp;quot;lower liability option&amp;quot;. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- TODO: Deal with examples where there's a possibility of salmonella or other bacterial contamination. Could the food be brought back and re-processed to avoid the risk? Also, how much of this risk is related to the meat industry? How many of these cases would be avoided if more people ate [[plant-based]]? --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- TODO: Add a link to some website with a database of product recalls, and confirm what are the most &amp;quot;typical&amp;quot; reasons for a recall. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- TODO: Explain why these solutions are not being implemented at the moment:&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Public relations:''' No one wants to look bad; no one wants to be accused of poisoning people.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''First-world culture:''' People don't understand or respect the seriousness of food waste.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Bureaucracy:''' Big companies hate hearing good solutions that seem &amp;quot;too complicated&amp;quot; or require changing a lot of practices at once.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Accountability imbalance:''' For example, companies can be sued for selling tainted baby formula, but they can't be sued for causing a baby formula shortage after wasting a lot of it. Non-customers don't have much legal leverage. Thus, the company has no incentive to come up with creative solutions to mitigate the hazard less wastefully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With these, maybe offer some ways around these impediments?&lt;br /&gt;
--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- TALK: Some of this commented text should probably be in some kind of expandable instead. Decide on a formatting standard for that? --&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
