Fresh St. Market and IGA Stores of BC have launched an enterprise-wide food recovery program at its stores across British Columbia to divert 100 percent of its edible but unsaleable perishable food away from landfill to its highest end-use.

In partnership with FoodMesh, Fresh St. Market and IGA Stores of BC will donate edible food they can no longer sell to local charities, who in turn, share the food amongst a number of other charitable organizations – 199 in total across B.C.
