Mobile Food Outlet - Introduction

 A mixture of fresh, bulk products at extreme, lower-than-retail, discount prices along with our Discount Outlet Foods.

Our Discount Outlet Foods catalog comes from a wide selection of Name brand (Oscar Mayer, Tyson, Perdue, Post, General Mills, Nabisco, etc.), Generic, and Store brand (Aldi, Walmart) products from across the US. Some brands are regional and you may not be aware of them in this area. Some products are institutional use, or commercial restaurant use and may not include retail packaging and nutritional information.

Please note that these foods are heavily discounted for a number of reasons:

• Closeouts / Factory seconds (Quality control) / Overruns
• Insurance claims / Liquidations / Warehouse damage / Distressed products
• Close-coded / Out-of-code products
  

In regards to Close-coded / Out-of-code products:
Any dated products are clearly indicated in all of our advertising and during the auction and the date reason is also indicated (Legend: best by, sell by, use by, freeze by, expiration date, production date)

Out of code products are legal to sell, although most stores don’t want an image of having ‘old’ product and items can potentially go stale.

It’s about food HANDLING. Food can go bad well before its date if handled improperly or it can last long after its date if handled properly.

From USDA/FDA:

• “Except for infant formula, product dating is not required by Federal regulations.”
• “Manufacturers provide dating to help consumers and retailers decide when food is of best quality. Except for infant formula, dates are not an indicator of the product’s safety and are not required by Federal law.”
• "In an effort to reduce food waste, it is important that consumers understand that the dates applied to food are for quality and not for safety."
• "Food products are safe to consume past the date on the label, and regardless of the date, consumers should evaluate the quality of the food product prior to its consumption."
