One business is partnering with restaurants and groceries to help sell extra food that would otherwise have been thrown out for the day, helping to reduce food waste as prices continue rising.
Batch Bake Goods is one of Riverton's newest bakeries. Like any bakery, they have to keep the product fresh, often leading to an excess of baked goods at the end of the day.
According to Forbes Magazine, more than $400 billion dollars of food ends up wasted in America each year."Coming from a third-world country, food waste is not acceptable in any of those countries. So coming to America we take food waste for granted, people waste food every day, it's a massive, massive issue that we have in America," said Extrabites Owner, Luccin Ifote.
Consumers can sign up for text notifications when groceries, bakeries, and restaurants have extra food to sell. Then they can go to the Extrabites marketplace and get them for a discounted price.
