Published purpose

One third of the world's food ends up in a landfill. That's 1.3 billion tonnes of food wasted every year. We're empowering our shoppers to change that. The Flashfood app allows grocery stores to sell high-quality, surplus food at steep discounts to savvy shoppers who can browse deals in their area and purchase items directly through Flashfood - saving money for shoppers, increasing revenue for grocers and lessening our collective environmental impact by reducing GHG emissions.
