The Real Junk Food Project (TRJFP) is an organisation that uses food that would otherwise have been discarded from supermarkets, restaurants, and other independent food suppliers to produce meals that are sold on a "pay as you feel" basis.[1] These meals are produced in different "pay as you feel" cafes around the UK. TRJFP raises awareness of the amount of food waste in the food system. It directly responds to this problem through using waste food in its cafes and other food outlets. Through using a "pay as you feel" scheme, it also aims to make the food accessible to everyone.[2] The first PAYF cafe was started in Armley, Leeds, in December 2013 by Sam Joseph, Conor Walsh and Adam Smith.[2] Since its opening, this cafe has fed over 10,000 people using over 20 tonnes of unwanted food.[1] CafesThe Real Junk Food Project cafes has a network of cafes that use the discarded (out of date but still edible) food to sell to patrons who support the initiative by the 'pay as you feel' method.[3] The network of cafes is supported through all region of the UK as well as international projects cafes with new projects starting regurlarly. VolunteersThis project utilises many volunteers and their skill sets to keep costs down and network with other organisations. ProsecutionDuring an inspection of the Leeds's warehouse, the West Yorkshire Trading Standards found 444 items out-of-date. The project is now at risk of prosecution for infringing the Food Safety and Hygiene Regulations while serving produce past their expiration date. Adam Smith argues that one million people have been fed by the project without anyone being sick so far.[4] As a response to the matter, Feedback, another UK organisation rescuing food waste, expressed their support to the Real Junk Food Project by stating that "the real crime here is the waste that is caused when people throw perfectly edible food away".[5] References1. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Campbell|first1=Lisa|title=Real Junk Food Project: The Leeds cafe that has fed 10,000 people, using 20 tonnes of unwanted food – and started a worldwide movement|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/real-junk-food-project-the-leeds-cafe-that-has-fed-10000-people-using-20-tonnes-of-unwanted-food--and-started-a-worldwide-movement-9926579.html|website=www.independent.co.uk|accessdate=12 February 2015}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.therealjunkfoodproject.co.uk/about-us.php |title=About The Real Junk Food Project |accessdate=12 February 2015}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://therealjunkfoodproject.org/|title=Cafes - The Real Junk Food Project|website=The Real Junk Food Project|language=en-GB|access-date=2016-10-08}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=The Real Junk Food Project in Leeds may face prosecution|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-40173677|accessdate=17 July 2017|work=BBC|date=6 June 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Feedback responds to reports The Real Junk Food Project under investigation for using food past its use by date|url=https://feedbackglobal.org/2017/06/feedback-responds-reports-real-junk-food-project-investigation-using-food-past-sell-date/|website=Feedback|accessdate=17 July 2017|date=6 June 2017}} 2 : British food and drink organisations|Food waste |
