Four in five British households throw away uneaten food items at least once a week – with bread, bananas, and bags of salad leaves the most commonly-binned items from kitchens.
A poll of 2,000 adults found that a quarter of those who are guilty of wasting food will bin edible items as often as twice a week – discarding 1.1kg of food a month, or £26.97.
Other commonly-wasted food items include milk, cucumber, potatoes, and lettuce.
