Sell Short-Dated Food & Drink Stock

Stock approaching its best-before date loses value every week it sits still. We make fast decisions so short-dated lines are sold while they still have shelf life.

Retailers usually reject stock with less than a set percentage of shelf life remaining. That leaves perfectly good product stranded in warehouses. We buy short-dated ambient food and drinks in volume and route it to channels that sell through quickly, from discount retail to export.

Need to protect your brand?

Clearance doesn't have to mean losing control of where your stock ends up. Tell us about any resale restrictions when you submit. Depending on the stock and agreement, options may include controlled resale channels, export restrictions, packaging or branding removal, or other agreed disposal conditions.

Why companies choose us

Brand protection built in

Tell us your resale restrictions up front. Depending on the stock and agreement, options include controlled channels, export-only resale, de-branding or repackaging.

Bulk, mixed and multi-SKU lots

From a single pallet to full trailer loads and 200-line stock lists. Upload your spreadsheet instead of filling in every line.

We understand dates

Long-dated, short-dated and past best-before are assessed separately. Products with a use-by date are handled under different rules and are not bought once expired.
