Food waste disposers, particularly food waste disposers for installation under a sink, can include a mounting assembly that has a baffle. Each baffle of the present technology can include an outer rim, a plurality of flaps that are attached to the outer rim by a hinge and extend radially inwardly from the outer rim. Each flap can have an anti-reverse stopper that is intended to resist upward movement of the flap during operation, to prevent food waste from backing-up out of the disposer into the sink.
