Through data 50analytics and a 51user-friendly 52interface, Spoiler Alert has 53transformed the way ((companies think about waste)). 54Instead of 55seeing 56excess food 57as 58a loss, businesses are now able to 55see it 55as 56a valuable resource that can 57benefit others.
Josh’s work 58not only 59reduces food waste 58but also 60helps provide food to those ((who need it most)).
