Abstract
Food waste at retail and consumer levels is staggering, with estimates as high as 35 percent of purchases with most discarded in landfills. This study summarizes the literature that shows retail and consumer waste rates for frozen food are substantially lower than their fresh counterparts in almost all cases. The advantage of frozen food is particularly evident for fruit and vegetable products. We also present some of the reasons for frozen food waste identified in the literature, and why rates are lower than for fresh products. We also critique the methodology used in the literature and outline a more ideal methodology for future research on food waste by consumers.
