Parliament has given the green light to a law that cuts food waste and encourages donation. The legislation is not only ethical, but protects those who hitherto could face lawsuits. About 750,000 tonnes of food is wasted per year in the city-state.In a consumer society that generates high levels of waste, the measure is not only useful but also ethical. Under the new legislation, donors who hitherto risked lawsuits will now be protected.

These points are important because, if donors comply with the law, they are protected from lawsuits in case problems arise from consuming donated food. The law comes with two important exceptions, namely food exchanges between individuals as part of interpersonal relationships, like between friends and coworkers, and food provided by employers to resident domestic staff.

Food waste in Singapore is huge, some 750,000 tonnes per year, against 1.6 million tonnes of imported food consumed per year.
