Associations Between Plate Waste, Food Experience and Meal Quality in a Hospital Inpatient Setting: An Exploratory Study

Lower plate waste (≤ 25% plate waste) was associated with higher patient food experience and meal temperatures meeting temperature targets. However larger, multicentre studies involving diverse patient groups are required to confirm these relationships.
