Our take
As the world moves to become more sustainable, issues such as global food waste are increasingly apparent. Food waste is not only a travesty because of world hunger but also because of the devastating greenhouse gas emissions caused as a result.
Flashfood considered how they could tackle this issue. The mobile marketplace provides customers with access to discounted food nearing its best-by date and salvaging food that can be used to help feed those in need or those who are unable to afford fresh and healthy food. The app allows users to browse through available deals at participating stores near them. Customers can also purchase items directly in the app and pick up orders from the Flashfood zone in their participating store.
The company has numerous partners across Canada and the United States, and has saved shoppers millions on their grocery bills, as well as removing gargantuan amounts of product from the waste cycle. Indeed, its collaboration with food solutions company SpartanNash alone has saved families $1.9 million, and diverted one million pounds of food waste. Flashfood continues to develop its strategic partnerships and further its expansion, on the back on earning the number one spot in the Social Good Category on the 2023 Fast Company's list of the most innovative companies.
