Aimed at cutting down the “massive amounts of food waste every day” and positioned to appeal to environmentally conscious or lower-income consumers, some foreign supermarkets sell foods that either near their expiration date but are still safe to consume or come in damaged packaging, at discounted prices.

为了减少“每天浪费掉的大量食品”，唤起人们的环保意识，以及为满足低收入消费者的需要，一些国外超市以打折后的价格销售临期但仍然可以安全消费的食品或是包装有破损的食品。

In some countries, the law has been adopted to ban large food vendors from disposing or destroying food nearing its expiration date.

在一些国家，通过了禁止大型食品零售商处理或销毁临期食品的法律。

Much of the food that is near their expiration date is donated rather than being thrown into the bin.

许多临期食品都被捐赠出去而不是被扔进垃圾箱。
