What’s inside a Surprise Bag?

What varies, what to check, and how to approach your first FoodLoot pickup.

The answer changes

Surprise Bags contain food a participating business has left unsold. The business packs the bag, so the contents depend on what is available to pack. It is not a fixed menu with the same contents every time.

FoodLoot’s current range includes Small, Medium and Large. Check the particular offer in the app; the range does not mean every business offers every size or that a size promises a universal serving count.

Read a reveal as an example

A real reveal can help you understand the experience. The most useful examples identify the business, branch, date and size. Even with that context, a past photograph does not guarantee the contents of a future bag.

Dietary needs deserve separate attention. Check the bag information and ask the business or FoodLoot support before reserving. Do not assume a Surprise Bag is suitable for a particular allergy or diet.

Plan the collection

Before reserving, check the branch, price and pickup window. Reserve through FoodLoot and follow the collection instructions in the app.

If an order goes wrong or you cannot collect, contact support and refer to the applicable terms. This guide does not promise a particular refund outcome.
