There is lot of food being wasted every day, especially from supermarkets, hotels, and restaurants. However, these places are required to dispose of leftover food every day to eliminate the chances of food poisoning and other untoward incidents.

Many people have suggested that these establishments should do something to avoid wasting food. So, Chef J Gourmet and his team at 5-Star Hotel Fairmont in Abu Dhabi had come up with a wonderful plan called the Doggy Bag Initiative to give these foods a second chance. They decided to collect the hotel’s leftover food and send it to animal shelters.

Gourmet said that they carefully choose the ingredients that are safe to give to the shelters. They just take rice, vegetables, fish, meat, and bread for animals. Cheese, sauces, spices, and desserts are not allowed. The leftovers are cut and packaged in the same kitchen and then taken to the animal shelters.

The hotel has pledged to continue to send leftovers for the stray animals and has called on other hotels and volunteers to join in and help them with the initiative.

“We want more hotels and restaurants to join us in the fight against throwing away leftovers so that they don’t become rubbish but food for other creatures,” the chef said.
