The average Irish household is losing up to €700 a year throwing out food that could be eaten, research has found. A survey by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) showed that 68% of people still look to use-by dates on food to gauge whether it is usable or whether they should bin it.

Joining Andrea to give advice on reducing this waste is Odille Le Bolloch, enviromental scientist, EPA.
