I cold-emailed snack brands across North America and partnered with 10 of them, including The Low Carb Co, to take their short-dated and surplus stock before it hit the landfill.

How I got into it
Six bags of chips and one question
I was cleaning out my kitchen cabinet when I found six bags of chips and pretzels with only a few days left before their best-before date. I knew I couldn't finish them in time, so I threw them away.
Then I started asking: if I have food sitting around about to expire, how many companies are sitting on warehouses full of products just like these? That question became Reviva Mart.
Retailers won't take products with less than three months of shelf life left, so brands are stuck with perfectly good food and nowhere to move it. Meanwhile, shoppers want to help the planet but can't afford to pay extra for it.
The solution
Rescue, pack, sell

Each Mystery Rescue Box is a rotating surprise of snacks from our brand partners: $30+ of retail value for $19.99 CAD or $14.99 USD.

Face to face at pop-ups and farmers markets across Ontario. Profits went to Table to Table food rescue.
