Too Good To Go, the world’s largest surplus food marketplace, has officially launched in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The app allows consumers to purchase “Surprise Bags” of surplus food from local businesses at a fraction of the retail price. This initiative helps residents save money, supports businesses in recovering lost revenue, and reduces food waste. Participating stores list extra food on the app daily, and users pick up their Surprise Bags at designated times. With new partners joining weekly, locals are encouraged to check the app often for fresh deals and opportunities to fight food waste. ■ toogoodtogo.com
