Flashfood releases 2025 Impact Report

Surplus grocery marketplace Flashfood has released its 2025 Impact Report.

In 2025, the company said it supported the diversion of 32.9 million pounds of food from landfills; saved shoppers $85.5 million on fresh grocers; and sold 1.6 million produce boxes. 

Flashfood was recently announced as one of the winners of Canadian Grocer's 2026 Impact Awards in the category of Sustainability. 

The report, titled “The Future of Food Is Abundant,” outlines the company’s vision for a more resilient food system where “fresh, nutritious food is more consistently affordable, available and abundant.” 

"Food waste has always been considered an unavoidable cost of the grocery system. We want to make the case that it’s also one of the clearest opportunities to make that system stronger,” said Jordan Schenck, CEO of Flashfood, in a press release. “When we use technology to recover surplus food, particularly the fresh food that makes up the lion's share of waste today, retailers recover value, shoppers get more affordable access to fresh groceries and communities become more resilient. That is the abundant food system we are building and we believe it will be the baseline, not the aspiration.”

Flashfood expanded its marketplace in 2025 through partnerships with U.S. retailers including Kroger’s Mid-Atlantic Division and Gelson’s Markets in Southern California. 

The company said it plans to further expand its retail network and platform in the year ahead.
