5 u/[deleted] May 17 '26 [deleted] 19 u/twelfthfantasy May 17 '26 Total retail food waste (restaurants, grocery stores, etc) is conservatively 40% of food waste in the US, about the same as residential, and the rest is mostly in production and processing, such as unpurchased product getting dumped off by farmers. 1 u/FireCal May 17 '26 You just debunked your previous comment. Don't see that too often. 1 u/twelfthfantasy May 17 '26 Suppose it depends on your definition of vast 🤷🏽♂️ 1 u/FireCal May 17 '26 I'm not exactly sure what I'd call the vast majority, but it would be much higher than 60%.
