Case Study: Salem Health reduces food waste with Winnow AI

Salem Health cuts food waste 33% in 17 weeks with Winnow

Salem Health, a leading healthcare provider in Oregon, faced a significant challenge with food waste in its kitchens. Traditional handwritten waste logs made it difficult to pinpoint the causes of losses, which included large amounts of high-cost proteins like salmon. To solve this, they partnered with Winnow and implemented its AI-powered food waste tracking system.

Using Winnow's data and actionable insights, Salem Health gained visibility into waste sources and engaged its team to address the root causes. The solution led to a full return on investment within 17 weeks and a 33% reduction in waste by value. Winnow specifically helped the retail kitchen cut salmon waste by 65% through creative repurposing of ingredients.
