Throw away food in error
Answer:
CHUCK OUT
(or at least,
-H-C- OUT
). But why?

US slang
The OED's 5th definition of "chuck" is food. And if you're 'out' you might have made an error, I guess.

Chuck = 'throw': Out = 'away': 'Chuck = 'food'(e.g. chuck wagon): Out = 'error' (e.g. misalignment) - Looks like a double bubble at a guess?
