Food To Save: salve alimentos

Food To Save is an app created to fight food waste while expanding access to quality food at affordable prices. Every day, thousands of supermarkets, restaurants, bakeries, and produce stores discard food that is still perfectly good to consume—often just because it is close to its expiration date or does not meet aesthetic standards. Food To Save transforms this challenge into an opportunity by connecting these establishments with people committed to conscious consumption.

Operating in more than 20 cities across Brazil, the Food To Save app has already helped save over 2,000 tons of food. By reducing waste and promoting smarter consumption habits, the platform generates positive economic, social, and environmental impact.

Surprise Bags with Big Savings

Through the Food To Save app, partner establishments offer “Surprise Bags” filled with food for immediate consumption. These bags may include items close to their expiration date or products that are visually imperfect but still high in quality. Each Surprise Bag is offered with discounts of up to 70%, making quality food more accessible while preventing unnecessary disposal.

Positive Impact for the Planet

By redirecting food that would otherwise be wasted, Food To Save helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions associated with food disposal. This contributes to a more sustainable food system and encourages responsible use of natural resources, reinforcing the importance of conscious consumption.

Benefits for Local Businesses

Partner establishments benefit by monetizing food that was previously considered a loss. In addition, participation in the app helps attract new customers, increase brand visibility, and strengthen relationships with communities that value sustainability.

Discovery and Variety

Food To Save encourages the discovery of new restaurants, bakeries, and stores. Since Surprise Bags vary depending on availability, each rescue experience is unique, adding an element of surprise while supporting local commerce.

A Movement for Everyone

Food To Save is built on the idea that reducing waste benefits everyone. The app supports affordability, sustainability, and access to quality food, proving that small daily actions can lead to meaningful change. The platform continues to grow as more cities, partners, and food savers join the movement.
