About us

About Foodello–Fiksuruoka

We’re on a simple mission: fight food waste and help people save money.

Born in 2016 as a one-person garage project, Foodello–Fiksuruoka has grown into a team of 50+ energetic, international colleagues working across Finland, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Every day, we rescue surplus food that might otherwise be thrown away, from products with a new package design to batches that were simply overproduced. Instead of going to waste, these items get a second life in our online store at a great price.

Together with our customers and suppliers, we’ve already saved 15 million kilos of good food from going to waste. And we’re only just getting started.

If you’re looking to grow your expertise while fighting food waste, and want to join a small, international team that values sustainability, ownership, transparency, data-driven decisions, continuous learning, and kindness, Foodello–Fiksuruoka is the place for you.
