#UseYourLoaf

Did you know that each day in the UK we throw away 20 million slices of bread? That’s the same as throwing away 1 million loaves a day!

We’ve got plenty of ways to help you #useyourloaf

Store your bread the right way to cut down on the amount wasted, by following the top tips below:

• store your bread in the original packaging in a cool, dark and dry location
• don’t keep bread in the fridge as it will go stale sooner
• packaged bread can often be eaten up to a week after its best before date (unless it’s gone mouldy)
• bread can be frozen and stored for longer, defrost when you need a slice or even pop It straight into the toaster

Recipes to use up your loaves

Bread can be used in lots of creative meals and can be a great way of preventing stale bread from going into the bin.
