Bundle Waste
Treat infant-food waste decisions as part of the site's product-safety system. Keep released stock, quarantined batches, production scraps and packaging identifiable so rejected product cannot accidentally re-enter supply.
Information to gather
- Record the reason each batch is rejected and the decision made by the quality team.
- Keep donation decisions separate from recalled, unsafe or untraceable stock.
- Ask the receiving processor about the exact food and packaging mixture before collection.
What to check before deciding
Do not infer donation suitability from appearance or an off-spec label. Confirm allergen, date, traceability and storage information with the responsible food-safety person and any proposed recipient.
Food donors need to supply safe food and the information needed to keep it safe. See Food Standards Australia New Zealand - Information for charities and community organisations.
