The world’s largest marketplace for surplus food, Too Good To Go, and leading food-on-the-go retailer Greggs are proud to announce that they have now saved more than 6 million meals from going to waste across the UK, marking another major milestone in their mission to reduce food waste.
This latest achievement builds on the continued success of the partnership and demonstrates the power of well-loved brands working together to prevent food waste. Since its launch in 2016, Too Good To Go has helped save more than 500 million meals globally, with over 180 million registered users worldwide.
Greggs partnered with Too Good To Go in 2021, and today surplus food can be saved from more than 2,000 shops across the UK. The partnership supports the Greggs Pledge – the company’s sustainability strategy – which includes a commitment to reduce food surplus by 25 per cent compared to 2018 levels. Too Good To Go users can enjoy a variety of Greggs favourites in each Surprise Bag, from the iconic Sausage Roll to freshly prepared sandwiches and sweet treats.
Chelsea Kerr, country director at Too Good To Go for UK and Ireland, said: “We’re incredibly proud to reach the milestone of 6 million Surprise Bags saved with Greggs. This partnership shows the real impact we can have when we work together to prevent food waste at scale. Every Surprise Bag saved not only saves great food but also helps reduce unnecessary carbon emissions. We’re thrilled to celebrate this achievement with our community through this competition and thank them for being part of the journey.”
A Greggs spokesperson added: “Reaching 6 million Surprise Bags saved is a fantastic milestone for our partnership with Too Good To Go. It reflects the commitment of our shop teams and customers to reducing food waste, while ensuring good food is enjoyed rather than wasted. We’re delighted to celebrate with our customers by giving them the chance to win and continue enjoying their Greggs favourites.”
