OUR COMMITMENTS

Reduce Food Waste at Scale

Every day, perfectly good food goes unsold in grocery stores — often due to overstock, packaging changes, or approaching best-before dates. FoodHero helps redirect that surplus before it becomes waste.

By connecting retailers with shoppers ready to rescue these products, we help reduce food waste at scale and make better use of the resources that go into producing, transporting, and storing our food.

Make sustainable choices accessible

Making more sustainable food choices shouldn’t be complicated — or expensive. FoodHero makes it easy for Canadians to rescue perfectly good groceries at meaningful discounts.

By making surplus food more accessible, we help households save money while turning everyday grocery shopping into a simple way to reduce food waste and make more sustainable choices.

Partner with retailers to prevent waste

Reducing food waste requires collaboration across the food system. FoodHero works with grocery retailers across Canada to help them manage surplus inventory more effectively.

By turning unsold products into opportunities instead of waste, our retail partners can reduce disposal, recover value, and help more food reach Canadian households.

Measure and share our impact

Understanding the true impact of food waste — and the difference prevention can make — starts with reliable data. FoodHero tracks the weight of every item rescued through our platform.

Using region-specific environmental data, we estimate the emissions avoided when food is rescued instead of discarded, helping make the impact of everyday choices visible and measurable.

OUR IMPACT

Diverting food from landfill

7 million pounds of food rescued in 2025.

Saving Canadians money

Millions saved on groceries.

‍FoodHero helps Canadians rescue perfectly good groceries at discounted prices. By turning surplus food into everyday purchases, households can save money while helping ensure good food is enjoyed instead of wasted.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions

652 tonnes of CO₂ emissions avoided.

‍When food is wasted, the resources used to grow, transport, and store it are wasted too — and disposal creates additional emissions. By rescuing surplus groceries before they reach landfill, FoodHero helps prevent greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the environmental impact of food waste.

Supporting community food programs

A lot of the surplus products available on the FoodHero app are frozen before their best-before dates, helping extend their life and prevent perfectly good food from being wasted. This allows more food to stay in circulation longer.

By helping preserve surplus food, FoodHero supports efforts that keep edible food out of landfills and make it possible for more of it to not only reach households, but also community food programs.
