In the United States, food is the largest category of waste that is sent to municipal landfills, despite most of it is completely edible. This large waste of food takes up unnecessary space in landfills and hurts the pockets of grocers who have to throw away food after its best-by date.
This can all come to an end with Flashfood.
Flashfood is a service allowing grocers to sell foods past their best-by dates for a discounted price. This allows the grocer to still make a profit from the otherwise wasted food, while also giving consumers an option to buy food at a discount. Additionally, this service eliminated millions of pounds of food.
