About Food Recovery Verified

Through our Food Recovery Verified (FRV) program, Food Recovery Network (FRN) provides technical assistance and support to food businesses and events that seek to fight waste and feed people through food recovery. We partner with companies across the U.S. to recover at conferences and events, as well as provide third-party verification for food businesses that are donating their surplus food to hunger-fighting partners.

In addition to the positive outcomes that stem from food recovery, Food Recovery Verified businesses and events receive support and resources from our experienced team to launch and improve their food recovery programs. 

As leaders in the good food movement, our verification provides recognition to those who are doing this great work. All verified accounts receive a listing on the FRN website as a Food Recovery Verified account, digital assets to showcase the verification, and a spotlight through tagged social media posts and/or blog features. The FRV designation demonstrates a commitment to food recovery and investment in sustainable initiatives that have a long-term impact.

Verified businesses and events RECEIVE:

Being verified sets a standard and example for other businesses. By diverting food from landfills, we can cause a shift in the system that helps reduce environmental impact and helps those in need.
