Paragrafy na żywność - jak prawo wpływa na to co dzieje się z żywnością | Żywność od A do Ż

Imagine yogurt that, at midnight, like in a Disney "anti-fairy tale," magically transforms from a nutritious product into waste. Why does the system suddenly turn food that could feed the hungry into a legal problem? In the third episode of the podcast, we speak with Błażej Krasoń, Vice President of the Federation of Polish Food Banks and an expert with over 20 years of experience. We analyze loopholes in Polish law and examine why the law, which was supposed to help, still requires urgent amendments. In this episode, you will learn: 🔸 Magical 24:00 Hour: Discover the legal paradox that causes food recalled from sale to cease being considered "wasted" the moment it becomes waste. Why are the definitions in the law so crucial to saving food? 🔸 The law as a "prototype": Why does the 2019 law, though noble in its intentions, contain errors that hinder the provision of assistance? We discuss the proposals for an amendment that the social sector has been waiting for for years. 🔸 Prioritization, or people first: Learn about the French model and why in Poland we must legally guarantee that food goes to people first, not to biogas plants or animal feed. 🔸 Where does food disappear? We analyze the statistics: trade accounts for approximately 7% of waste, but producers waste more than twice as much. Why is it so important to extend the law to include additional links in the chain? 🔸 The paradox of empty pallets: Why, despite the growing number of cooperating stores, is the amount of food going to Food Banks per location... decreasing? 🔸 Entrepreneurs, fear not! We debunk tax myths. Donating food is a VAT-exempt donation that is safe, ethical, and economically viable. Food waste isn't just about numbers and tons—it's a lost opportunity to help the 2 million people living in extreme poverty in Poland. Hear how changing a single provision in the law can translate into thousands of meals for those in need.
