Question No. 735
To ask the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health (a) whether food delivery services for senior citizens track the amount of food waste created daily due to rejection of the taste or type of food by recipients; (b) if so, whether the Government has data on how many meals per day on average are rejected and thrown away since 2022; and (c) what have the service providers done to address this wastage.

Answer

1                MOH does not track food waste data for meal delivery services for senior citizens. Instead, meal delivery service providers funded by the Government minimise food waste by matching delivery times to clients’ schedules and offering meals that cater to their dietary needs.
