Using Science to Solve Kitchen Mysteries and Fight Food Waste

Have you ever stressed about whether something was OK to eat? Whether it’s fuzzy cheese or an avocado that’s spotty inside, walking the line between avoiding food waste and making safe food decisions can be tricky. Here to help is Rachael Jackson. She’s the founder of EatOrToss.com, a web resource that features images of odd-looking food, alongside science-minded guidance on whether the food is still OK to eat. In an interactive, one-hour webinar, she’ll cover various ways food can look “odd,” explaining what happened to the food and how to handle such curveballs in your kitchen. Come prepared to vote “eat” or “toss” on a variety of intriguing images. And, of course, we’ll have time for questions at the end.

Rachael Jackson is a journalist and food waste reduction advocate. She’s the founding editor of EatOrToss.com, an award-winning website that uses images and accessible, science-based text to help home cooks assess food at risk of being thrown away. Rachael has written about food waste for publications including the Washington Post and NationalGeographic.com, and has spoken about food waste–and avoiding it through a better understanding of our food–to groups ranging from Girl Scouts to government agencies. She also works with restaurants in Washington, D.C. on events designed to normalize low-waste cooking and serves on the national planning committee for Food Waste Prevention Week.
