The UK landfills are replenished every year with food that the British throw in by mistake, considering them spoiled. So, the British send in the trash more than 700 million chicken eggs annually.
Employees of the organization Too Good To Go, specializing in food waste, were monitored, which resulted in finding that due to a misconception about the food suitability of food, 10.2 million tons of normal food was sent to the dump.

If the eggs surfaced, they deteriorated and are unsuitable for consumption. Stale eggs are moving upwards. This is due to the gradual evaporation of moisture through the shell, which replaces the air. The greater the volume of air contained in the egg, the higher it will float. 
Throwing out usable food is a big problem in modern Britain. The British send to the landfill not only eggs, but also other products. Every year they say goodbye to 10.2 million tons of food, worth £ 20 billion, which is £ S00 per person. Only one egg residents of the UK throw out 720 million, paying £ 1Z9 million for them. Throwing out eggs, relying only on the expiration date, which is indicated on the packaging, the British part with excellent food, said Jamie Croom, Tosh Good To Go.
