Your Waste Has Value

Every week across Wisconsin, food manufacturers and distributors toss out thousands of pounds of usable product—trim, overages, expired-but-safe batches, rejected shipments. It’s time to change that. Otter Foods is a Wisconsin-based food buyer that pays you to keep that food in the value chain—and out of the landfill.

What Otter Foods Buys

We specialize in food that’s perfectly good but doesn’t meet spec. That includes:

• 🧀 Cheese trim and ends
• 📦 Overstock, overrun, and canceled private label goods
• 🍫 Bulk or raw ingredients near date but still viable
• 🥫 Mislabelled or cosmetically damaged packaging
• 🥣 Dry, shelf-stable snacks and protein-rich items

Why Sell to Otter Foods?

• Make money instead of paying for waste disposal
• Feel good knowing your excess food helps nonprofits and food banks
• Freight included – we arrange logistics when possible
• Fast response, fair pricing, and confidentiality

Real-World Examples

A cheese plant was dumping 800 lbs of off-spec shred each week. Otter Foods offered a simple pickup solution, paid cash, and reprocessed that cheese into shelf-stable nutrition bars for school pantries and shelters. Everyone wins.

A snack food company had two pallets of incorrectly printed labels. Rather than trash them, Otter Foods paid to repurpose the product. The company saved on landfill costs *and* got paid.
