FSM 369: Reduce Holiday Food Waste – Leftovers Done Safely

Food Safety in a Minute

Transcript [Music] From Washington State University Extension, this is Food Safety in a Minute. After holiday meals, using leftovers is a great way to reduce food waste at home. Holiday celebrations often leave more food than expected; enough for 25 people instead of the 10 invited. According to the FDA's Leftovers and Food Safety, bacteria multiply quickly when food sits out too long. Keep your food safe by refrigerating or freezing leftovers within two hours of serving. Divide large portions into shallow containers to cool evenly. Wrap food tightly in foil, plastic wrap, or airtight containers to prevent moisture loss and cross contamination. Label and date each item. When reheating, use a thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F, protecting both safety and flavor. Safe storage today ensures a worry-free, delicious meal tomorrow. Happy Holidays, this is Susie Craig. [Music] Resources Food Safety and Inspection Service – United States Department of Agriculture. Leftovers and Food Safety. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/leftovers-and-food-safety. Accessed online 10/25/25.

The episode outlines WiN-WiN's local partners — including Revived Life House, the Man of Meals program at Nicholasville Methodist Church, the Jesmond County Food Pantry, the Kentucky United Methodist Children's independent living program, and Bethel Harvest — and explains the program's focus on logistics, food safety, recipes, toolkits, and training to help organizations use and preserve donated foods.

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're talking about one of the least-visible but largest waste problems in the world: food processing waste. Every time fruits or vegetables are peeled, chopped, juiced, or processed, mountains of perfectly good plant material get thrown out or sold for pennies. It's expensive, it's inefficient, and it's a huge climate problem.My guest is Michelle Ruiz, founder and CEO of Hyfe, a company unlocking the massive value hidden in this “waste.” Hyfe has developed a clean, water-based technology that can deconstruct food waste into high-value ingredients—like natural antioxidants that can replace carcinogenic petrochemical additives, fibers for gut health, and eventually the bio-based molecules that could power the broader bioeconomy.Instead of paying to get rid of waste, food processors can turn it into a whole new revenue stream — while reducing emissions and building real circularity into the food system.We get into:Why food processing waste is one of the biggest untapped feedstocks in the worldHow Hyfe's process “unlocks” the compounds inside plant material without toxic solventsThe clean-label antioxidants that can replace petrochemical additives already being banned in multiple statesWhy fibers are booming — and how food companies want cleaner, more functional sourcesHow this technology could one day replace a chunk of the petrochemical industryThe business model: why food processors, not consumers, are Hi-Fey's real customersMichelle's journey from oil refinery engineer to World Economic Forum Tech PioneerThe role of circularity, resilience, and adaptation in the future food systemLinks:Hyfe: https://hyfe.tech/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

My guest this week, Emma Atkins, is here to explore the role that refrigeration has played in our food waste. Emma is a PhD researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK. Her research looks at how fridges influence food waste, whether through design or its place in a food system geared towards overconsumption. She has a background in policy and advocacy, and recently wrote two reports tackling policy solutions for food waste and quality of food donations with Foodrise, which is a UK and EU-based NGO. Her website Food Waste Stories features articles about food waste in art, culture, policy, and academia, and advocates for a sustainable food system.  In today's conversation, I speak with Emma about how fridges have evolved from earliest 1920s designs to become embedded in our modern food culture, the relationship between fridges and Costco hauls, the extreme fridge organization trends on TikTok, and the possibilities of more sustainably-minded fridge designs to reduce food waste in the future.

New Zealand farms and food producers appear to be outpacing other countries when it comes to reducing food waste. A report commissioned by the Ministry of Environment reveals more than 1.2 million tonnes of food is wasted or thrown away here every year. The total proportion of food wasted is between 5 and 10 percent - considerably lower than the global estimate of 30 to 40 percent. University of Otago nutrition professor and report author Sheila Skeaff says household food waste is still as high as most other countries, but producers are ahead.

According to the United Nations, around one-third of all the food currently produced across the planet is being lost or wasted, oftentimes before it even reaches our plates. As well as the loss of essential sources of nutrition needed to feed the global population, issues in food supply chains are using up other vital resources such as water, labour and energy. So, what can we do to ensure that as much food as possible makes it from farm to fork without being wasted? As part of our four-part miniseries, Future of Food, we're joined by Dr Natalia Falagán, an Agricultural Engineer and Senior Lecturer in Food Science and Technology at Cranfield University. She explains the need for more joined-up thinking to help connect the different stages of our food production systems, the difference between use-by and best-before dates and tells us how growing something as simple as herbs in a kitchen window box can help us all deepen our relationships with the food we eat.

Do you wish you had more money to spend on groceries so you can buy more fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy better health? Well, what if I told you that you don't need MORE money …but you have to first learn to stretch your shopping dollars – in the store and at home. This way, you can get MORE with each dollar that you do spend.   Because here's the reality…there's a lot of food waste going around, and most households are losing significant amounts of produce AND money every week…from simply not knowing how to store produce, to not knowing how best to use what we do buy and bring back home.   Let's change that. I want to help you maximize your shopping dollars and enjoy more of the fruits and veggies you bring home. Let's see how to do that with one specific vegetable, often used in homecooked meals.
