Imperfect Foods is an online grocery delivery service that specializes in sourcing and delivering cosmetically imperfect ('ugly') produce and surplus/overstock groceries directly to consumers. Founded in 2015, the company expanded from produce-only sales to include fresh meats, seafood, dairy, and grocery staples. The company operated a proprietary delivery fleet of over 450 vans and served hundreds of thousands of customers across the United States, addressing food waste by recovering surplus products that would otherwise be discarded.
