I've seen this question posted many times but never seen an answer from the QVC staff.The amount of food exposed, handled and cooked is huge. What happens to that food?

This board is for customers only.  QVC staff is not allowed to post here so you'll just have to use your common sense about the food disposition. There have been plenty of ideas as to what happens to it.

I'm sure the majority is thrown out. Who is going to eat food that has been touched and torn apart by the hosts and guests hands??  Soooo gross.

@haileysgrandma Q employees are not allowed to post here. We don't know what happens to the food.

After sitting under hot lights...ewww. Tossed I hope.

Maybe they take some home with them?

If you want a shock, check out the dumpsters at the grocery stores.  

The dumpsters are full of meat too expensive for people to afford....like T bones and expensive seafood as well as produce, dairy, bakery and seasonal items.  

The employees are not allowed to take it home and it isn't donated.

America wastes a lot of good food while many people go hungry.

I know they get samples to try before the presentations and I've seen them give some of the food to the crew to eat after they present it.

I would not want to host those food shows - eating all that highly processed, very salty, preservative laden food.

There are State, County, and Local LAWS regarding the disposal of food in establishments...and (at least in my state) there are INSPECTORS who enforce those laws.   

And...if you wonder about hotels....as a back office worker, I was not even allowed to reheat a guest's restaurant doggie bags, because I did not have a State Food Handler's Permit.

They probably throw it out but what I don't understand is why they have so much of it.......not one chicken sandwich, 20 of them and then lined against the wall were what you got with auto delivery ......plus all the other ways to make chicken.
