The United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service estimated in a 2010 study that 31% of the overall food waste in the U.S. was at the consumer and retail level.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One app looking to battle the USDA&#8217;s estimate of between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usda.gov\/foodwaste\/faqs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">30-40% annually<\/a> (2010 estimate) of the country&#8217;s total food supply for this type of waste is known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flashfood.com\/#How-it-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Flashfood<\/a>. Patrons, according to information on the company&#8217;s website, can get discounts of up to 50% at participating grocers through the app, where consumers can browse for deals near them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retailer Meijer said in a May 2022 press release that it had diverted over 1 million pounds of food that may have been headed to a landfill through its Flashfood program. The program had been ramped up in 2021, Meijer said in its release. Consumers had purchased the products nearing their sell-by date through the program, the retailer stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actions by Meijer and the app&#8217;s producers fall into the higher portions of the food recovery hierarchy and keeps these items out of the landfill.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenspeake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Food-Recovery-Hierarchy-1024x820.png?resize=640%2C513&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenspeake.com\/staging\/9709\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Food-Recovery-Hierarchy.png?resize=1024%2C820&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenspeake.com\/staging\/9709\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Food-Recovery-Hierarchy.png?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenspeake.com\/staging\/9709\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Food-Recovery-Hierarchy.png?resize=768%2C615&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenspeake.com\/staging\/9709\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Food-Recovery-Hierarchy.png?resize=1536%2C1230&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenspeake.com\/staging\/9709\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Food-Recovery-Hierarchy.png?resize=2048%2C1640&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenspeake.com\/staging\/9709\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Food-Recovery-Hierarchy.png?resize=1568%2C1255&amp;ssl=1 1568w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenspeake.com\/staging\/9709\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Food-Recovery-Hierarchy.png?resize=770%2C616&amp;ssl=1 770w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenspeake.com\/staging\/9709\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Food-Recovery-Hierarchy.png?resize=370%2C296&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenspeake.com\/staging\/9709\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Food-Recovery-Hierarchy.png?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenspeake.com\/staging\/9709\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Food-Recovery-Hierarchy.png?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The total amount of food considered by the USDA in 2010 (U.S.) was approximately 133 billion pounds.
