In 2019/2020, a combined 33 percent of the respondents among the 18-24 year-olds in the United Kingdom (UK) agreed that they often threw food away because they had bought products too close to their sell-by date, compared to 22 percent of the respondents aged between 45 and 54. Just over a quarter of the 35 to 44 year-olds strongly disagreed with this statement.

Would you say that you often threw food products away because their sell-by date was too close?*
