Alberta Health Services is halting a proposed food-reduction policy after public outcry over patients potentially being cut off from snacks and drinks.

The agency’s interim president and CEO, Andre Tremblay , said the policy was to change how food is stored and delivered in an effort to reduce waste.

AHS did not provide an estimate of what costs it was hoping to save with the initiative.
