In recognition of World Food Day, sponsored by the Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, Herbalife
Nutrition (NYSE:HLF), a premier global nutrition company, is
raising awareness of this year’s theme – “Healthy Diets for a
#ZeroHunger World.” The Company is sharing tips on reducing food
waste and calling on its independent distributors, employees and
the more than 7 million members of its social media community to
take action in making healthy and sustainable diets available and
affordable.
“Hunger is a rapidly growing global crisis and we hope that by
educating people about all the ways they can help, including
reducing food waste, we can help build a world where everyone has
access to quality food,” said Dr. Kent Bradley, vice president of
Medical Affairs and Nutrition Education at Herbalife Nutrition.
The education-driven campaign is part of the Company’s Nutrition
for Zero Hunger initiative, which, in collaboration with nonprofit
partners, focuses on providing access to healthy foods, improving
nutrition education, identifying sustainable food resources and
helping raise awareness of the global hunger crisis. In September,
the Company launched its Nutrition for Zero Hunger global
initiative to help end world hunger, aligning with the United
Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal #2, which calls for bold
action to end hunger in all its forms by 2030, as well as solutions
to achieve food security and improve nutrition worldwide.
One of the major contributing factors to global hunger and food
insecurity is food waste, with 1.3 billion tons of food produced
globally being lost or wasted. Some of the tips on how to reduce
food waste being shared by Herbalife Nutrition with its nonprofit
partners and their communities include:
- Know Food Expiration Dates - Understanding expiry dates
for food can help reduce throwing out food that is still good. A
“sell-by” date is the date that food has to be pulled from store
shelves, a “use-by” date is suggested for best flavor or quality,
but many foods are safe to eat after this date.
- Get Creative with Recipes - Soups, stews and salads are
great options for many leftover veggies and grains. For example,
overripe tomatoes can be added to a homemade sauce and brown
bananas are perfect for your morning smoothie or shake.
- Plate Up in the Kitchen - Food left on the plate is most
commonly thrown out. Instead of family style, where dishes are on
the table, consider portioning out meals in the kitchen to avoid
over-serving.
- Donate to Those in Need - Consider donating extra food
items to local food banks, food pantries and charities. You can
find local food banks accepting donations through
