The purpose of this program is to redirect surplus food from waste streams to its highest end use. First to people, then to farm animals and finally to industrial uses or compost.
We’d love your feedback on how well we did at delivering our training.

The Retail Food Recovery Program recovers all unsold food from grocery stores that would have otherwise gone to waste by donating it to charities or farmers. All donations are easily tracked using the FoodMesh Diversion Tracker app providing real-time data and metrics so that the stores can measure their impact.
This program is recovering over 90% of what was previously wasted food and diverting it to feed people and animals
The Program Champion at your store will be able to help answer any other questions you may have.
