Who We Are:

With the rising cost of food and the challenges faced by our supply chain, Flashfood has become a staple in many North American families.

When food gets thrown out, most times it ends up in a landfill and gets covered by other garbage, rotting and producing methane gas. Flashfood partners with grocery chains to allow them to sell surplus food through the Flashfood app at significant discounts for its users while reducing store-level food waste.
