CK Foodstores has unveiled its partnership with food wastage app Gander in 23 South Wales stores.

Gander helps shoppers save money and reduce the amount of food wastage from retailers. The app uses real-time technology to highlight yellow-sticker, reduced-to-clear food items on shelves near their homes.

In addition to South Wales, Central England, Channel Islands and Northern Ireland, the app Gander is rolling out further across the UK and Republic of Ireland to help drastically reduce waste.

In a statement, CK Foodstores said: “We are delighted to have partnered with Gander to bring this unique initiative to our stores in South Wales.

“We believe it will benefit our customers through easier access to reduced price food products while also helping to tackle environmental problems associated with avoidable food waste.

“We know that many of our customers feel strongly about this issue and by introducing the Gander app we will encourage shoppers to purchase in a smarter, more sustainable way while also making savings.”

The Gander app can be downloaded via the Apple or Android app stores and can be used to locate reduced items in CK Foodstores.
