Saving food, changing the future

Over 58 million tonnes of food are wasted annually in Europe. With Foodhero, you can help tackle food surplus using unique opportunities that not only reduce emissions but also create new value from excess resources.

A big challenge

On average, each household in the EU throws away 70 kg of food per year. This accounts for 54% of total surplus. Imagine how many resources we could save if we joined forces.

Power of change

By saving food, you help reduce CO2 emissions by 2.85 kg per Surprise Bag, equivalent to the emissions saved from driving a car for 10 km.

Latvian initiative

Latvia aims to reduce food surplus by 50% by 2030, joining the global mission to improve the bioeconomy.

Economic benefit

Saving surplus products allows businesses to attract more customers and increase profits by selling goods that would otherwise spoil.

Sustainable future

Together, we can reduce landfill pressure and preserve valuable natural resources, supporting a sustainable economy and a healthy planet for future generations.

Quality

When you buy food through Foodhero, you get products that are still tasty and safe to eat. These items might be nearing their expiration date, making them a smart and sustainable choice for you and the environment.

Users will pay through the app and turn up at the set time to pick up the food. It's a win-win-win: your surplus gets eaten instead of wasted, the planet has less food waste, and the user gets delicious food for a great price.

When businesses have unsold food, they list it on Foodhero. Customers use the app to buy this food for a great price, then pick it up at a time set by the store. The food is bundled up in what we call “Surprise Bags”. Beyond knowing the gist of what their order will contain (for example sandwiches and salads, or muffins and pastries), users only find out what they get when they collect their order.
The feed of available Surprise Bags in the Foodhero app updates in real-time, based on ongoing updates by our partner stores, cafes, restaurants, and bakeries. New food may become available at local locations throughout the day.
Surprise Bags reserved through Foodhero can be collected in-store at the respective cafe, restaurant, bakery, or supermarket within the specified collection time window.
We work with a variety of stores and restaurants, so you'll find everything from supermarket groceries to hotel breakfasts and fresh pastries from bakeries. Any fresh food that hasn't passed its use-by date can be sold on the app.
