Notification obligation for near-expired foodstuffs
In 2015 in Belgium, the minister for poverty reduction Liesbeth Homans proposed a notification obligation for near-expired foodstuffs for supermarkets. 2 supermarkets (Carrefour and Delhaize) have welcomed the minister's appeal to redistribute near-expired foods to the poor, and proposed to then also integrate a digital register/inventory to further increase efficiency, and the use of cool trucks to transport the near-expired foods from the supermarkets to other distribution centers (of for example volunteer organisations). The minister was enthusiastic about this, and mentioned that 1 cool truck per region could be sponsored/payed for by the state.

The minister also proposed to offer 1-euro meals in all Flemish cities.

 * As this appears to be just a proposal rather than an implemented policy, it would fit better on the Liesbeth Homans article than here. Even if it became a national obligation, I wonder if the Food bank article might be a better place for a mention of it.Dialectric (talk) 14:09, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Poll: Can we include this navbox in the article (KEEP/REMOVE)?


 * KEEP There are no other specific NAVBOXES covering Supermarket and Singapore better. So a valuable information for a person who wants to see details about

Supermarket's in Singapore. --huggi - never stop exploring (talk) 08:49, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * REMOVE -> Not in an overview article. - Takeaway (talk) 16:03, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * REMOVE; Too specific for such a general article (imagine if it were cluttered with a template for every region of the world intersected with every food-related topic). --Junkyardsparkle (talk) 16:12, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
