Food Recovery

Food sent to landfills does not break down properly and instead emits methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. While there will always be a certain amount of surplus food that cannot be sold, we do our best to reduce waste from the source and donate or compost anything that can’t be eaten. Since 1 in 4 people in San Diego face food insecurity, donating our surplus organic produce is critical to reducing our environmental impact and supporting the community.

Our Partners

In 2024, we diverted 170 tons of edible food from the landfill and donated it to the San Diego community. That’s equivalent to 283,555 meals!

Compost to Customer

In 2024, we diverted and donated 30 tons of inedible food scraps to farmers around San Diego.

Produce trim, juice bar pulp, and other food scraps that can’t be sold, eaten, or donated, can be picked up by customers to feed farm animals or compost bins.

If you’re interested in joining the waitlist for our Compost to Customer program, fill out the contact form here and choose “Sustainability” in the dropdown.

Zero Food to Landfill

After reducing our food waste from the source, using or donating what can’t be sold, and diverting food scraps for animal feed, it’s still inevitable to end up with a certain amount of food waste. We’re working hard to ensure that 100% of our inedible, unusable food waste gets composted and doesn’t go to the landfill.

Our goal is to have zero food entering the landfill in 2026, and here is what we’re doing to accomplish that goal:

About Non-GMO

Since 1984 when we opened our first store, Jimbo’s commitment and personal passion for organics has never wavered, as it is paramount to who we are. However, we now have another concern that we are equally passionate about. And this is the issue of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms).

As an organization, we have taken a strong stance against GMOs, and a leadership role in the natural foods industry in trying to have products labeled as verified GMO-free. As such, we have decided to not bring in any new products that carry any at-risk GMO ingredients (see policy below). In doing this, we have refused a number of products that you might see at other natural food stores. While we understand that this may be an inconvenience to you, we hope you will also understand that we have made this decision with the welfare of you, your children (and mine!), and future generations in mind!

Jimbo’s Ingredient Standard:

Avoidance of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms). While we do not claim to be GMO-free, we are moving in that direction. Going forward, we will do our best to limit any products that contain GMOs. In that vein, we do prohibit ingredients that are most likely to contain GMOs. Specifically, at this time, we will not knowingly accept any new item with non-organic corn, soy, canola, sugar beets, alfalfa or potatoes unless that item is certified by The Non-GMO Project. This includes ingredients such as fructose, ascorbic acid, citric acid, and xanthan gum that are produced using corn or soy. We strongly encourage any manufacturer that is making a GMO-free claim to have that claim certified by The Non-GMO Project. This service will benefit both the consumer and the manufacturer.

What are GMOs?

GMOs (or “genetically modified organisms”) are organisms that have been created through the gene-splicing techniques of biotechnology (also called genetic engineering or GE). This relatively new science allows DNA from one specie to be injected into another specie in a laboratory, creating combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.

Are GMOs safe?

In 30 other countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production of GMOs, because they are not considered proven safe. On the other hand, in the U.S. the FDA approves commercial production of GMOs based on studies conducted by the companies who created them and profit from their sale. Many health-conscious shoppers find the lack of rigorous, independent, scientific examination of the impact of consuming GM foods to be cause for concern.

How common are GMOs?

According to the USDA, in 2009, 93% of soy, 93% of cotton, and 86% of corn grown in the U.S. were GMO. It is estimated that over 90% of canola grown is GMO, and there are also commercially produced GMO varieties of sugar beets, squash and Hawaiian papaya. As a result, it is estimated that GMOs are now present in more than 80% of packaged products in the average U.S. or Canadian grocery store.

Where does the Non-GMO Project come in?

The Non-GMO Project is an initiative of the North American organic and natural product industry to create a standardized definition of non-GMO, with a 3rd party verification program to assess product compliance with this Standard. The Project’s Product Verification Program is entirely voluntary, and participants are companies who see the value of offering their customers a verified non-GMO choice. Many of the individuals and businesses leading the way with the Project are the same ones responsible for creating the original organic standards.
