Frozen: A Food Waste Solution for India

India faces a significant food waste challenge. According to the UN Environment Programme’s Food Waste Index Report 2024, Indian households discard approximately 78.2 million tonnes of food annually, averaging 55 kg per person . This waste exacerbates hunger, with India ranking 111th out of 125 countries in the Global Hunger Index.

Frozen foods offer a promising solution. Studies indicate that consumers discard only 6% of frozen items, compared to much higher rates for fresh perishables . Freezing extends shelf life, reduces spoilage, and maintains nutritional value, making it a practical choice for households aiming to minimize waste .

For brands like ours, embracing frozen solutions isn’t just about convenience—it’s a commitment to sustainability and reducing our environmental footprint. Let’s champion frozen foods as a key strategy in India’s fight against food waste.
