You asked
I was wondering whether I could get some data on the amount of surplus stock from food industry suppliers/manufacturers/distribution centres in the whole of the UK in the last year i.e. any surplus food that is treated as waste and is thrown away, rather than passed onto supermarkets.

Thank you for your request. Unfortunately, we do not hold the exact information you are looking for. The only information we hold in relation to food waste is already published as part of our obligation to report on Sustainable Development Goals: https://sustainabledevelopment-uk.github.io/12-3-1/.
