Senate Bill 1383 and Food Recovery
To reduce food waste and help address food insecurity, SB 1383 requires that by 2025 California will recover 20 percent of edible food that would otherwise be sent to landfills, to feed people in need. The law directs the following:
Jurisdictions must establish food recovery programs and strengthen their existing food recovery networks
Food donors must arrange to recover the maximum amount of their edible food that would otherwise go to landfills
Food recovery organizations/services and food generators that participate in SB 1383 must maintain records
