If you’ve been to Gulfood, then you’ve probably noticed the abundance of foods on display…and what happens to them after might be a bit problematic. 

However, a food bank wants to take those food and distribute them amongst the needy in the UAE with the help of charity organisations. 

Called the UAE Food Bank, this food collector will collect all the remaining foods at the end of the food-trade show. It has already provided seven containers placed in various locations inside the exhibition hall for this purpose. 

With the help of authorities, this food-bank will collect anything from left-overs to fresh food items.
