Food Safety Guide

AFRA’s Food Safety Guide provides best-practice advice to everyone working in the food rescue sector, including donors, drivers and volunteers.

Use-by or Best-before?

Many of us get confused by the dates printed on our food packaging. Some of us wouldn’t touch food even a day past the date listed, while others are comfortable to eat food well after. Knowing the difference between ‘use by’ and ‘best before’ is important in reducing food waste.

Food Donor Guide

This guide has been prepared for businesses considering a partnership with a food rescue organisation.

An overview of food rescue in Aotearoa New Zealand, how you can donate food and a guide about what to expect if you partner with an organisation.

Other key sources
