Food charity Fareshare says donations from the major grocers have fallen, just as demand has surged.
Fareshare redistributes food waste to smaller charitable and community projects across the UK.
Carl Hawkes, head of network at the charity, explained that donations from supermarket warehouses were particularly valuable. The charity is at pains to explain they have no problem with supermarkets wasting less - but it poses a challenge for them to continue to support so many charities that depend on waste food.
One is Fullers, which makes frozen chips and vegetable products that most major retailers stock under its own brand. The BBC also spoke to manufacturer Kellogg's, which has a long-standing commitment to back breakfast clubs and has redistributed over 18 million servings of cereal in 2022 so far - more than last year."Like every business, we are trying to be as efficient as possible and look at our costs," said Paul Wheeler, communications director at Kellogg's UK.
