FoodMaven sets out to minimize food waste in the supply chain
Food waste disruptor: FoodMaven has set out to minimize food waste in the supply chain by connecting out-of-spec and over-supply product with end users clamoring for cost-efficient raw materials.
In 2016, FoodMaven was founded in Colorado Springs, Colo., to help eliminate the large amount of wasted food found throughout the supply chain, brought about by products deemed out of specification or over-produced. Often, these products would never find a buyer and eventually would end up being thrown out. Already, FoodMaven has made a dent in the Denver, Colo., metropolitan area, and had begun moving into the Dallas, Texas, area as well (at presstime).
Furthermore, in January 2019, FoodMaven acquired Anderson Boneless Beef — now referred to as the East 75th plant internally — to add custom meat-cutting to its capabilities and also give FoodMaven the ability to further-process certain meat cuts to meet the needs of customers.
