The fight against food waste starts with an imperfect potato chip at the Herr's factory.
NOTTINGHAM, Pennsylvania -- Herr's potato chips have been enjoyed by the greater Philadelphia area for more than 75 years.
"We don't want them to find their way to the bag," said Peter Graziano, Research and Development Director with Herr Foods."We also don't want to just throw them in the trash and fill up the landfill." "We have a pretty special setup here with our farm down the street, where we can pick those chips out and send them to the farm for the cattle feed," said Graziano.
The concoction of chips, pretzels, popcorn, and more become food for cattle on the adjacent Herr Angus Farm."I think the unique digestive system of the beef cow is kind of what makes all this make sense," he said."And it's a valuable nutrient for the cattle.""We can take the water from the factory and irrigate the fields, which then feeds the cattle," said Beam."And the manure from that then gets put back on the crop ground.
