About the program

Launched in 2018 in partnership with Metro Ontario, One More Bite is a retail food recovery program that ensures much needed fresh, healthy food gets into the hands of those who need it the most.

Working with Metro and Food Basics stores across the province, this program ensures food that may have otherwise gone to waste is recovered by Ontario food banks. Unsold products including meat, prepared meals, dairy, and bakery products are saved, frozen, and redistributed to local food banks to support people in need.

Since its inception, the One More Bite program has provided over 2 million pounds of fresh, nutritious food—and counting!
