Toast bread straight from the freezer to avoid waste, campaign urges

UK households throw away 24m slices of bread each day, says anti-food waste campaign

Around 24m slices of bread are thrown away every day in the UK - more than a million an hour - because people do not get around to using it in time and worry it is stale.

Now a new campaign from the anti-waste charity Love Food Hate Waste is urging consumers to freeze bread and toast it straight from the freezer, and to consider eating toast as a snack at any time of day.
