Imperfect Foods Review: formerly known as Imperfect Produce, is a food delivery service that sends you produce and other goods that are defects, surplus, and normal. It is imperfect food and here is a negative review.
Imperfect Foods claims that they are there to help reduce food waste and the environmental impact that comes with it. While honestly, in theory it sounds good, but I had a negative experience and would not recommend this service.

Oh no, sorry to hear you had such a negative experience! I tried my first box last week and was impressed with everything except the amount of plastic used. I didn’t weigh anything though, so definitely will next time to be mindful of what I received vs. ordered.
Yeah it was pretty wild how messed up this box was. I’ve ordered it before when it was still Imperfect Produce and several times received expired foods.
It is coming off to me as them up charging discounted food which in a sense is gentrifying reducing food waste!
More power to you for bringing this up! Can’t believe they would do that, though. It sends them a strong message that they need to step up their service. And on our part, we all need to be more mindful of what we order online.
Oh no! I have been waiting for Imperfect Foods to become available in Arizona where I live but that sounds terrible! And a lot for shipping too! I think I will stick with shopping for produce at my local farmer’s market. 🙂 Thank you for the review!
Thank you for your honest review! You would think there are plenty of ‘imperfect foods’ to go around, it doesn’t make sense to me they would short you so much! Sorry to hear about your experience!
Yeah it’s unfortunate! It came off to me also like they didn’t care about double checking everything, sadly!
