EXCITING NEWS
Stop the Press!
We are so excited to be chosen by creative studio Tomorrow®. A huge thank you to Ben, the Tomorrow team, and powerhouse judges for this opportunity.
We're making a difference today for a better tomorrow.
Giving surplus food a purpose with great taste and no waste.
Rescued is a social enterprise with a sustainable and delicious solution for food that is otherwise being wasted.
Our secret ingredient, Rescued Bread Flour, transforms leftover bread to replace traditional flour. We've declared it the next best thing since sliced bread.
Fruit, vegetables, and even spent juniper berries from making gin are rescued and reimagined.
Collaborations and doing good are our thing. Growers, manufacturers, retailers, and charitable food redistributors now have a sustainable solution for surplus food.
