The bill aims to establish a voluntary certification program to reduce food loss and waste. It includes criteria for certification, recognizes accreditation bodies, and promotes certified participants through labeling and other means. The program also aims to increase donations of excess food to nonprofit organizations and promote the use of alternative disposal methods. The Secretary of Agriculture will coordinate with relevant agencies, and $3,000,000 is authorized for each fiscal year from 2026 to 2030. Additionally, there's a requirement to revise a cooperation agreement on food loss and waste among the Secretary of Agriculture, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, and the Administrator of the EPA.
