Bill to make doggy bags compulsory at Italian eateries filed

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 11 - A bill to make doggy bags compulsory in Italy was filed by the post Berlusconi centre right Forza Italia (FI) party Wednesday.
    "Doggy bags are a mark of positive civic sense and must be encouraged by all restaurants as part of the battle against food waste," said FI.
    Hospitality group FIPE welcomed the move and stressed the importance of "upping efforts to convince consumers about the bags' utility".
    Until recent years Italian restaurants were often loth to give customers doggy bags. (ANSA).
