Loose produce

Pity the organic avocado, damaged and bruised on its way to the shelf, "roughed up" on the shelf by shoppers, picked by mistake by the in-store pickers and then misrepresented at the self checkout.

Pity too all the other loose products in fresh, especially those with the shortest shelf life, most easily damaged and with other similar alternatives.

In this podcast, Colin Peacock is joined by Richard Thalemann to discuss how retailers are trying to reduce food waste by adopting new and different approaches to reduce the volume of "throws" from the loose category, including technologies to extend the shelf life, to reduce damages and to improve pick and scan accuracy.
