An accurate answer would have to come from someone who works there and knows  what they are talking about.  We here who are reading can only guess.  Besides, "tons" and "dozens" are significantly more than what we actually see with our own eyes.  The probability is that the floor crew and any other staff on or about get to enjoy what was opened and should be used.

@Free2be Dave has said several times that the crew gets to eat the food.  Same thing or the cookware shows.

@~Shilo~ They do seem to go over-board...........open 49 cans of nuts to sell a $39 product.   It bugs me too.  LOL

Heard David  say.....the production crew was lined up - to dive into - one of their delicious presentations.

I don't think much of the food is wasted - studio light or not. 

A perk of the job.

You know, instead of David doing his Happy Dance (which I hate), maybe they should just show the crew eating the food.  Now, there's a sales pitch.

Tons of people??? I suspect the backstage crew descend on the leftovers, and the "doctored" food (shaving cream instead of whipping cream) is discarded.

I often wonder what happens to those expensive steaks and fresh seafood and produce, flowers, etc. sold at grocery stores when the " sell by dates" expire.

QVC has such a small amount of food compared to super markets.  We are a country of waste.

You are so right Carmie. My DH belongs to a community  recycling org. and they go around collecting cardboard, etc. from restaurant & other businesses dumpsters. He was amazed at the amount of food that is thrown out  And these quickie mart gas stations are bad too. He said boxes & boxes of unopened candy bars, etc. were in the trash.

Where I live they are donated to the local foodbank.  We receive food from Costco, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Met Market, Safeway and Krogers.

So many Q gourmet food shows!

So my question is do you order food on the Q and what do you order ?

[RespectLife]

I no longer watch the Gourmet Food Shows but I do order food.

I have Salmon, Sea Bass, Hearthland Chix and Mini Potstickers all on AD.

There are many others I have tried as well.  There have been a few things I wouldn't reorder but overall, mostly very pleased.   I did ask for a for a refund on Jimmy Baker Crumb Cakes.  So horribly dry, we couldn't eat them and DH eats anything!

I love the french croissants. I had to get a refund on Jimmy the Baker and Davids Cookies little mini cakes, horrible.

I usually order a Juniors Layer cake at Christmas time or the lemoncello or tiramisu cake.
