Surplus Inventory Service for Food & Ingredients

We help processors, co-packers, and distributors liquidate surplus food and bulk ingredients—from overproduction and spec changes to label errors and discontinued SKUs. We vet compliant channels (bulk ingredient buyers, secondary food markets, feed/industrial where appropriate), handle freight, and provide diversion reporting.

What We Accept

  • Categories: dry & shelf-stable foods, sweeteners, oils, flours/grains, nutraceutical powders, food-grade chemicals (anti-caking, citrates, etc.)

  • Forms: sealed palletized cases, supersacks, drums/totes (sealed), bulk sacks

  • Documentation: lot/COA where available, best-by/exp dates, allergen/handling

  • Volumes: from a few pallets to FTL/rail-adjacent

What We Don’t Accept for Resale

  • Temperature-controlled perishables without proper cold chain

  • Opened or unsealed primary packaging (unless channel-appropriate)

  • Products under recall or with food-safety issues

  • Prescription-adjacent or regulated ingestibles outside standard food compliance

  • For some of these items, we may be able to offer organic recycling options such as compost, animal feed, or anaerobic digestion.

How It Works

  1. Specs & photos: product list, grades, best-by/exp, allergens, COA/lot data, packaging.

  2. Channel plan: bulk ingredient buyers first; secondary food channels; feed/industrial last resort.

  3. Logistics: LTL/FTL; food-grade carriers on request; pallet requirements by SKU.

  4. Reporting: diversion confirmations and buyer disclosure where required.

A logistics warehouse was stuck with a truckload of stranded food grade salt when the food production company canceled the order. We pushed this out to our network and within 2 weeks had sold the entire lot - generating income for the logistics company and freeing up valuable rack space.
