Yes it is definetly true as when one customer came and eat and if thre is a meal left they just threw it away

Smell and Consumer Behaviour: The Impact on Sensory Evaluation. Since smell has the unique ability to evoke emotions, trigger memories, and influence our overall sensory experiences, when it comes to product preference and purchasing decisions, the aroma of a product can have a profound impact.

in my opinion that way if the staff used that method for dis covery is food still fit to eat , it will be cause several losses and many contamination.

I agree with the response here as more and more people don't use the way government suggest and home waste us the most rabbage

I agree with most of the comments here. Maybe we could donate food that's past its expiration date but still smells good, but beyond that we need to educate people, like, I think most people would say bad things about a restaurant that donates food that's past its expiration date, because they don't know that these foods are still good. So, by educating people we wouldn't have these misunderstandings and perhaps food waste in homes would decrease.

Different staff have different standards for if food is still okay to eat or use in cooking. I think that the staff should either set specific and very similar standards for all members of staff or donate food that looks and smells okay but is past expiry date and is not suitable for restaurant use to a food bank or some place similar. Another thing they could do with food that looks and smells okay but is past the expiry date is let the staff take it if they want it as long as the restaurant doesn't need it or cannot use it.

In my opinion ,I really think they just use it all the time !

I think some people don't have the common sense in the kitchen because today is more of a fast food society or processed food society. I was raised in a home where we helped prep the meals and learn to cook by age 11 and help my dad learn how to smoke meat and grill and even worked at a fruit stand where I had to identify vegetables and fruits past their prime. I was fortunate. When I work for Luby's Cafeteria as a manager, I discovered that some people don't have sense enough to understand that the meat is spoiled when it's brown and slimy and it's been in there seven and a half to eight days. They could not identify that a 30lb box of lemons had mold all over them and didn't even think to check the box. I think most of it had to do with taking pride in their work in learning how to pick up the skills. I have actually taught people in the produce section how to sniff a cantaloupe. I think in a fast-paced world that people just don't take the time to learn the skills unless they enjo

I think for each person, consent or knowledge is the key. It's one thing if I smell it and think it's okay to eat. However, if I'm paying in a restaurant, and I'm served something "expired" without knowledge or agreeing to have that served to me, it's kind of a different matter.

I think they should import food that has long expired. And store them in the correct place. Usually, check food and take them to use first before it expired.
