Metcalfe’s Market, Stop Waste Together partner to prevent food waste
With the Stop Waste Together initiative, Metcalfe’s uses Pinpoint’s expiration date management program, Date Check Pro, to track and find items nearing expiration.
Metcalfe’s Market, Madison, Wis., partnered with Stop Waste Together, a non-profit initiative sponsored by Pinpoint Software, Madison, Wis., to prevent food waste created by expired products from grocery shelves.
Through this partnership, Metcalfe’s aims to reduce the $165 billion worth of food wasted annually in the United States. The initiative gives customers the opportunity to save on groceries by purchasing specially-marked, soon-to-expire items throughout the store. The discounts range from 20-30% off.
