Too Good To Go has announced it will offer a nationwide delivery service for its food parcels.
With Too Good To Go Parcels, customers can access groceries and household food staples from a variety of beloved brands, from Heinz to Tony’s Chocolonely, all at a reduced price and conveniently delivered straight to their door.
Many food brands often find themselves with perfectly good products that can’t hit the shelves due to minor issues like damaged labels or packaging changes - almost 12 million tonnes of food is wasted annually at the manufacturing stage across Europe.
However, now Too Good To Go Parcels will offer consumers the chance to make a difference by saving this perfectly good food that would have otherwise gone to waste from larger scale manufacturers and have it conveniently delivered straight to their door to stock up at home.
The items of food are sold at a discounted price so you can do your bit without breaking the bank.
What items will be in the Too Good To Go Parcels?
Users who buy Too Good To Go Parcels can expect to receive ambient goods that are easy to store, including coffee, tea, snacks, soups, sauces, pasta, confectionery and more.
Some big UK brands are already on board including Tony’s Chocolonely, Kraft Heinz, Minor Figures, and Skinny Food Co.
Unilever, Danone, Coca-Cola, Ferrero and Mondelēz (which owns Cadbury) are also currently onboard in other markets with Too Good To Go telling customers to ‘watch this space’.
