Actividades realizadas o en vías de realización In Norway, there is a system of green/yellow/red marking system that indicates if something has gone wrong in the freezing-chain, which is good from a food safety perspective. However, this system does not capture what might go wrong, or if the product needs to be thrown away. This might trigger throwing away food just to stay on the safe side. Therefore, when thinking about methods to reduce and prevent food waste, it has to be kept in mind that each action can have some side-effects, from the environmental, economic, sanitary or social point of view.
