Greggs and Too Good To Go have reportedly saved more than seven million bags of surplus food from going to waste since launching their partnership in 2021.

The bakery chain has worked with the food waste reduction platform for five years, offering customers discounted surplus products through its app.

The partnership allows shoppers to purchase Surprise Bags containing unsold food from Greggs stores at the end of the day and in the early morning, alongside Grab Bags featuring surplus hot food at various points throughout the day.

Greggs Grab Bags are now available in more than 2,000 shops across the UK, with prices starting at £2.99.

Customers can reserve and pay for the bags through the free Too Good To Go app before collecting them from their chosen store, with contents depending on what is available.

Too Good To Go UK and Ireland managing director Chelsea Kerr said: “Autumn is a great reminder of why partnerships like ours with Greggs matter. Routines get busier, budgets get tighter, and people want food that’s convenient and good value.

“Greggs has been partnered with us for five years, and together we’ve shown how a much-loved high street brand can make preventing food waste part of everyday life.”

The initiative forms part of Greggs’ efforts to reduce food waste across its store estate while offering customers lower-cost food options.

Greggs retail operations director Gillian Long said: “Our partnership with Too Good To Go plays an important role in redistributing unsold food.

“Whether it’s a bake, sandwich or sweet treat that’s being saved, it gives our customers a simple way to pick up something they love while helping us make sure good food doesn’t go to waste.”
