Sustainability at The Foraging Fox

At The Foraging Fox, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that food should be full of flavor, not waste, and we’re committed to creating delicious condiments that are better for you and better for the planet. By embracing upcycling, responsible sourcing, and waste reduction, we’re on a mission to become the #1 sustainable condiment brand.

The Food Waste Crisis

Every year, 1.3 billion tons of food, nearly one-third of all food produced globally is wasted. In the U.S. alone, food waste accounts for nearly 40% of all food produced, and this waste contributes to 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We’re taking action to fight food waste and make a difference through the way we source, produce, and package our products…

Upcycling Surplus Ingredients

We’re proud to lead the way with the USA’s first-ever certified Upcycled Tomato Ketchup. By using rescued surplus tomatoes that might have otherwise gone to waste, we’re transforming perfectly good ingredients into something delicious, proving that sustainability and great taste go hand in hand.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

We’re committed to reducing plastic waste by using recyclable and sustainable packaging materials wherever possible.

Carbon Footprint Reduction

We continuously evaluate our supply chain to reduce emissions and energy consumption.

By using upcycled ingredients, we’re actively cutting down on food waste, a major contributor to climate change.

Our Goal: A More Sustainable Future

Our mission is to set the standard for sustainable condiments by continuing to innovate, reduce waste, and inspire conscious food choices. We are working towards:

Expanding our upcycled product range.
Recyclable or compostable packaging.
Partnering with more organizations that tackle food waste and sustainability.

Partnerships

CleanHub

We’ve partnered with CleanHub!

CleanHub prevents ocean-bound plastic pollution by funding and tracking waste collection in coastal communities. They partner with brands and individuals to offset plastic use, empower local operators to collect and process waste responsibly, and use AI-powered, ISO-certified tracking to ensure transparency and impact verification. They create jobs, support recycling, and keep millions of kilograms of plastic out of the ocean. We’ve hit 25% of our goal already!

Upcycled Food Association

We are proud members of the Upcycled Food Association! The Upcycled Food Association (UFA) is on a mission to make sure good food never goes to waste. They bring together brands, innovators, and food lovers to turn surplus ingredients, think “perfectly good but overlooked” into delicious, sustainable products. They created Upcycled Certified, the first-ever label that tells shoppers a product is officially fighting food waste, and their network is already keeping hundreds of thousands of tons of food out of landfills each year. In short, UFA is proving that saving the planet can taste pretty great. Learn more about their mission here.

We have created the USA’s first certified upcycled tomato ketchup, saving perfectly good tomatoes from going to landfill. Our CEO Desiree is also on the board of directors at the UFA. A note from Desiree “Being both a Member and Board Director of the Upcycled Food Association means collaborating with like-minded individuals who are dedicated to transforming the way we view and consume food. Together, we’ll explore creative solutions, increase investment, drive awareness and propel the upcycled food movement forward. I am truly honored to be a part of this dynamic community.”

We plan to continue our range of upcycled products and continue to fight food waste one bottle at a time!
