Food businesses struggle to efficiently manage and track legally mandated food donations to stay compliant

Large supermarkets and food retailers now face legal requirements to donate edible food waste, but lack systems to identify which products qualify, coordinate logistics with food banks, track donations for compliance documentation, and manage the operational burden of food recovery. Current manual processes are time-consuming, error-prone, and create liability risks if donations aren't properly documented or handled.
