Flashfood's 2025 Impact Report: The Future of Food is Abundant.
Flashfood, the leading marketplace app connecting shoppers with discounted fresh groceries, has released its 2025 Impact Report, revealing how food waste reduction is emerging as one of the most powerful tools for improving public health, affordability, and environmental sustainability. The report, unveiled at the 2025 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit, outlines Flashfood’s milestones, new greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment, and shopper insights that show how rescuing fresh food can meaningfully improve diets and reduce waste.
Food Waste and Nutrition: A Growing Crisis
The report highlights a troubling trend: rising food costs are pushing many Americans toward ultra‑processed foods, which now account for over 50% of daily calories. Meanwhile, consumption of whole foods has dropped from 32.7% to 27.4%, according to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Flashfood’s CEO Jordan Schenck emphasizes that food waste and nutrition are deeply connected:
“Flashfood is the health, nutrition and food access multiplier the world needs today.”
By making fresh food more affordable, Flashfood helps shoppers access the nutrients missing from modern diets, while preventing perfectly good food from ending up in landfills.
Shopper Insights: Healthier Eating Through Food Rescue
Flashfood surveyed shoppers in May 2025 to understand how the platform influences dietary habits. The results show meaningful improvements:
70% say Flashfood has increased the healthiness of their diet.
65% report eating more fruits and vegetables.
60% say they consume more protein.
These findings demonstrate that food rescue isn’t just an environmental solution, it’s a public health strategy that helps families access nutritious staples at lower cost.
Environmental Impact: Reducing Waste at Scale
Flashfood’s 2025 report includes the company’s first‑ever GHG assessment, quantifying the environmental benefits of diverting food from landfills. To date, Flashfood has rerouted more than 130 million pounds of food, saving shoppers over $330 million on groceries.
As a certified B‑Corp, Flashfood continues to expand partnerships with retailers across North America, offering discounted produce, meat, and pantry items that would otherwise go to waste.
Building a More Abundant Food System
The report also spotlights organizations working toward a more equitable and abundant food future. Flashfood positions food rescue as a scalable, community‑driven solution that addresses affordability, nutrition, and sustainability simultaneously.
With powerful economic, social, and political tailwinds, Flashfood is leveraging AI to scale its marketplace and deliver greater value to retailers and consumers across North America.
A Future Where Food Is Abundant, Not Wasted
Flashfood’s 2025 Impact Report makes one message clear: the future of food is abundant when communities waste less. By connecting shoppers with fresh, affordable groceries and reducing environmental impact, Flashfood is reshaping how families access nutrition, and how retailers manage surplus food.
