What Can I Share?

What food and non-food items you can and cannot share on FoodShare.

Anything edible you’d eat yourself — plus household essentials.

Food you can share

Loose, raw, cooked, opened or unopened — if you’d eat it, it’s okay.
Past “Best Before” is allowed (quality date, see expiry guide).
Alcohol: ensure recipient is legal drinking age in your country.
Baby formula: only share surplus with informed parents who already use it (not advertised).

Non-food you can share

Kitchen knives: legal knives only, list “18+”, verify age (FoodShare is 18+).
OTC meds/vitamins within use-by, max store-quantity per person; no prescription meds (see below).
Pet food as non-food; used cosmetics within use-by.

What you cannot share

Food past its “Use By” (safety date — illegal to share).
Prescription/pharmacy-only meds, fake/counterfeit goods, coupons/vouchers, animals/live pets, controlled substances, weapons/fireworks/solvents, digital content, prescription glasses.
Violent/sexually explicit content (condoms/sex toys/art okay).
