Show Notes
FoodHero, a Quebec-based app combating food waste, diverted 7 million pounds of food from landfills in 2025, equivalent to 12 million bowls of pasta. Starting in 2019, the app offers discounted groceries nearing their best before dates, saving shoppers 25-60% and reducing store waste. Canada wastes half of its food annually, with confusion around best before dates contributing significantly. FoodHeros 2025 efforts cut 652 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents, equivalent to 1,630 round-trip flights from Montreal to Vancouver. The company plans an awareness campaign to dispel myths about best before dates and further reduce waste nationwide.
