## About

Founded in 2017 and based in Halifax, Canada, Outcast Foods Inc., formerly known as Beyond Food Inc., operates as a sustainable food tech company. The company was founded by its CEO Dr. Darren Burke and CMO TJ Galiardi. In February 2021, Outcast Foods Inc. raised CAD 1O million in series A funding co-led by new investors BDC Capital and District Ventures Capital. 

Outcast Foods has a patent-pending food waste solution that extends the shelf life of fruits and vegetables by processing them into powders while retaining their nutritional value. The company collects surplus fruits and vegetables from conscious farmers, producers, and grocers and converts them into dried whole food powder products in its zero-waste facility. Outcast's products are sold to other enterprises and individual clients through its stores and e-commerce website that offers free deliveries for orders above USD 150. Outcast’s powdered products have various industrial applications such as ice cream production (apple powder), dog foods production (broccoli powder), and cosmetics manufacturing (beet powder). 

The company plans to scale its operations in 2021.
