NCT06030687

Brief Summary

Participants will be asked to use the app to capture data on food purchases, food waste that occurs during food preparation, food waste that is present after eating, and food waste from cabinet and refrigerator/freezer clean-outs. During collection of much of the food waste data, participants will record in the app if food waste will be disposed of via composting, disposal, fed to pets, or garbage/landfill. They will also indicate if the food was spoiled, past the expiration date, etc. This will occur for 4-8 days. Participants should perform the prep and eat occasions 4-8 days. The shopping and toss occasions should be completed for at least 7 days.
