All of the above are common areas where food waste occurs. Over-purchasing can lead to spoilage and expiration of perishable produce and other foods. Food preparation and cooking losses occur when parts of the food are trimmed or discarded during preparation, or when food is burned, overcooked or unsuitable to eat. Plate waste refers to leftovers on the plate that are thrown away instead of being saved for later consumption.
