Food waste reduction platform Gander has been approved as a supplier for Morrisons Daily. 

The approval enables Morrisons Daily to use Gander’s technology to sell surplus and short-dated food via the Gander app, helping to reduce waste and provide local shoppers with access to discounted food.

Gander will integrate via the EPOS providers Morrisons Daily works with, which it said will ensure a seamless rollout and minimal operational disruption for stores.

Gander is described as providing a simple, data-led way to manage surplus stock without adding complexity in-store. Reduced items are automatically uploaded to the Gander app in real time, increasing visibility and accelerating sell-through.

Ian Bacon, head of convenience sales at Gander, said: “Being approved as a supplier for Morrisons Daily is an important step for Gander. Retailers are looking for practical solutions that work in the real world. This gives them access to a proven platform that reduces waste, supports profitability and delivers value back into their local communities.”

Raj Takhar, from Morrisons Daily, added: “We are pleased to approve Gander as a supplier for Morrisons Daily franchisees, giving them access to an additional tool to help reduce food waste while supporting their local customers.

“Food waste reduction remains a key focus for our retailers. Solutions like Gander offer a practical way to improve margin recovery while supporting our wider sustainability ambitions.”

Gander already works with a number of Morrisons Daily independent retailers including E C Ashton & Son, Freedom Convenience and Newhaven, as well as ‘Together With Morrisons’ retailers Filco, Warners & Chiltern stores.
