}}Olio (rendered as OLIO) is a mobile app for food-sharing, aiming to reduce food waste. It does this by connecting those with surplus food to those who need or wish to consume such food. The food must be edible; it can be raw or cooked, sealed or open.[1]

Those donating surplus food can be individuals or companies such as food retailers, restaurants, corporate canteens, food photographers etc., and donations can take place on an ad-hoc or recurrent basis. For example some supermarket chains in the UK, including Tesco,[2] the Midcounties Co-operative[3][4], Morrisons and Sainsbury's[5][6] have piloted Olio as an 'online food bank' to donate food and to reduce their waste.

First launched in early 2015 by Tessa Cook and Saasha Celestial-One,[7][8] by October 2017 the company had raised $2.2 million in funding.[9] The Olio app had around 320,000 registered users as of May 2018.[10]
